My name is Jan Bakewell and I offer one-to-one affordable private counselling, covering the issues that affect a persons quality of life and happiness.

During the current time, with COVID-19 meaning that social distancing is needed, I am offering telephone or video (Zoom) counselling sessions until it’s safe to meet face to face again.

Many of us experience times in our lives when we feel under pressure and find it hard to cope, mentally, emotionally or due to physical health concerns. Sometimes we need the support and understanding of someone who can offer another perspective, helping us to see a fresh insight without feeling judged.

Whether it be unresolved feelings from the past, difficulties happening right now or worries about the future, counselling can provide the time and space for you to work through your worries and help make sense of your life. Exploring these issues in a safe and supportive environment can really help.

Different counselling styles suit different people. I use a range different of counselling approaches to provide the right support for you. I have worked successfully with a wide range of issues including: stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger management, abuse, bereavement and relationship issues.

I am a qualified Counsellor and a member of the  British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) . BACP register No. 141318
