S.Jay-Bee Counselling Service

Counselling Style
I am an integrative counsellor that studied the different facets to a therapeutic relationship. I interchange between the different models of working and have specific grounding in the person to person relationship (Person-Centered approach) and the transferential relationship (Psychodynamic approach). Depending on the needs of the clients and the contractual agreement I find working in the CBT (solution focused manner) with regards to challenging and reality testing is valuable. Building the working alliance and facilitating the therapeutic relationship is important to me and I believe is one of the most beneficial aspect for you.

What I can provide
I provide one to one counselling focusing on the therapeutic relationship. I am committed to working in partnership with you to ensure you reach your desired potential. I understand the importance and need to be heard, so provide a safe environment to explore your emotions and develop your personal awareness. I strongly believe in the empowerment and autonomy of individuals which can be achieved through the art of talking therapy.

Experience
I have many years of experience working in a community setting supporting parents through their emotional difficulties and challenges parenting can bring. This can be related to anxiety difficulties, and low self esteem.

I have experience working with trauma in an organisation that specialises in childhood sexual abuse. This consists of working with shame, dissociation, guilt, difficulties maintaining and establishing boundaries, establishing own power and grounding techniques.

I have worked in a drug and alcohol setting and university settings working in a time-limited framework (brief therapy). I have worked alongside individuals to set SMART goals, and explore motivation strategies.
