I m Jass and I am here to listen. I am a BACP registered member and integrative counsellor in training with over 20 years’ experience working in social housing, supporting people through life’s challenges. I have worked alongside people experiencing poverty, homelessness, domestic abuse, addiction, discrimination, and mental and physical health difficulties. These experiences have shaped my values and approach to counselling. Everyone deserves dignity, compassion, and respect.
I am passionate about creating a space where you can be yourself and feel accepted for who you are. I believe a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of counselling. By working together, at your pace, we can build a relationship where you feel safe enough to explore what is important to you.
My approach is integrative, grounded in person centred values. Therapy is collaborative and client led. I will work alongside you in a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space, taking time to understand your world from your perspective.
As a woman with ADHD who has experienced the benefits of therapy, I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming. I believe therapy can help you make sense of your experiences and support the changes you want to make.
I welcome people of all backgrounds, cultures, faiths, sexual orientations, and gender identities. I work in an inclusive, culturally aware and LGBTQ+ affirming way. I have a particular interest in cultural competence, intersectionality, generational trauma, religious trauma, fertility and reproductive trauma, and neuro affirming practice, all of which help to shape the way I work. I recognise the impact of oppression, discrimination and lived experience on emotional wellbeing, and my aim is to create a space where you feel safe to be yourself.
