JW Counselling & Coaching

 I am an integrative counsellor and therapeutic coach. 

Using elements from different approaches, l tailor my therapy to each client’s individual needs.

I provide the space to confide and reflect with 

non-judgmental and understanding support, gently exploring past influences and current events which are having an intrusive and negative impact on mental health. 

As a therapeutic coach I combine counselling and coaching for clients who wish to make changes or have had change forced upon them. I provide support both for the emotional response to change and take steps towards a new direction.

Working through doubts and insecurities and drawing on personal strengths creates a greater understanding of what might be holding someone back. It helps to identify ways to overcome obstacles and allow a greater sense of clarity, motivation and confidence.

Counselling can help when you: 

• Need time to reflect and talk freely, being listened to without judgement, at a pace that suits you. 
• Want a place to open up in confidence to someone who is there to hear you, help you to feel understood and find a way forward.
• Feel anxious, confused, stuck, or just feel that something is not how it should be.
• Feel the demands made on you by other people, work or your own expectations are overwhelming.
• Find loss or change has left you feeling disorientated and struggling to cope.
• Notice that past experiences have left a deep impression and impact on how you see yourself.
• Need to manage a specific issue such as social anxiety, perfectionism or phobia.

 Coaching can help when:      

• Your life is about to change and you need support to plan a way forward.
• Change has been imposed on you and you feel unable to find a move forward.
• You have choices that it feels overwhelming to make.
• There is just too much on your plate and you don’t know where to start.
• You are feeling lost, confused or struggling with decisions.
• You just want things to be different.
• You need support to maintain the motivation to change.
