Hello, I’m Jools, I am a trainee counsellor registered with the NCPS.
I believe that every person is unique. My way of working is pluralistic, which means we’ll work together to find the approach that feels most helpful for you. I’ll regularly check in with you about what’s working and what’s not, and will adapt our sessions to meet your needs as they change and evolve.
Person-centred values are at the heart of my practice. I aim to offer a warm, compassionate space, free from judgement. It’s important to me that you feel accepted and able to explore whatever is important to you, always at your own pace. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of counselling, and I see therapy as something we do together rather than something that is done to you. I am always open to feedback and learning what works for your unique needs and situation.
Alongside this person-centred foundation, I may draw on elements of CBT and psychodynamic approaches where they feel helpful and where they fit with your goals. Together, we’ll explore your experiences and develop greater understanding, finding practical ways to support positive change.
My priority is to work collaboratively with you, respecting your individuality and supporting you in a way that feels right for you.
