About me
Hello, my name's Jill. Thanks for dropping by.
Are you sick of pretending you are fine? We've all done it, if we're honest, haven't we? It feels easier at the time. But are you really fine?
It is no fun feeling anxious and stressed all the time, not knowing which way to turn. I'll help you explore and work through your problems so you can feel happier moving forward. Sometimes it just makes sense to reach out for professional help - Why struggle?
People tell me I'm very down to earth and easy to talk to. I'll enjoy welcoming you so you feel comfortable enough to trust me with your most difficult feelings. I'll ask questions designed to help me really get to know you. Isn't it lovely when we feel understood? Why would you talk to me if you don't like/trust me? Our good professional relationship will be key to your successful therapy. Together, we'll focus on your self-development and GROWTH
I help adults (just like YOU) to:
Acknowledge & express your feelings. Feel less anxious, sad or depressed. Learn to let go of anger, guilt & shame. Let go of things you can't control. Learn more effective coping strategies. Be more resilient. Have more confidence & value yourself. Learn to ask for what you need & be able to say no. Find more balanced ways of thinking. Gain a fresh perspective.
MY SPECIALIST INTEREST: is working with Grief and Loss.
"The worst loss is always your loss. Only you know your loss and the meaning" “Everything has changed. And change is actually grief – grief is a change we didn’t want” (David Kessler - Grief Expert).
Perhaps you can identify with some of the following examples of loss:
Illness/Death of a loved one * Financial instability * Losing your job or changing/adapting the way you work * Anticipatory grief – fear for what may happen to you or others * Trust/ safety/ security - Freedom to do what you want *Normalcy- Change in daily routines & predictability * Relationship difficulties * Missed or cancelled significant events * Identity - Who am I now?
Grieving is an incredibly lonely experience. It can feel so totally overwhelming and all consuming. I know it is very difficult for you to reach out, but if you do, I promise a safe space to feel heard and cared for. You deserve this right now. I will gently help you to work through the intense knot of feelings at your pace. You are in control. There's no pressure, only what's helpful and soothing. Let me do this for you.
I won't pretend it will be easy, but counselling can be an amazing journey of exploration, self-discovery and of course healing. I will be with you all the way
