Jane Lovatt Counselling

Whatever is troubling you I will encourage you to tell me about it in a safe and nonjudgmental setting. You can share things that perhaps you don’t want to talk to friends or family about. Together we will endeavour to fully explore and understand your feelings, reduce distress, and support you to move forward as you choose.

What is Counselling

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming and talking to a counsellor can help to get things into perspective. Counselling offers you a secure space to explore what is going on for you, with someone trained to listen carefully, with respect and really try to fully understand you and your feelings. Counselling is not about someone “telling you what to do, giving advice, or simply granting your wishes” but can be about supporting you to explore your feelings and concerns which may then make decision making clearer.

What to expect

I work mainly from a person-centred perspective but may include relevant Psychodynamic aspects and CBT and TA tools if appropriate. Sessions are usually once a week for 50 mins.

Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Low Self Esteem, Low Confidence, Not feeling Good Enough, Panic Attacks, Relationship Issues / Abusive relationships, Sexuality, Addictions, Specialist Issues related to Ex Boarders from Boarding School, Bullying, Loss and Bereavement.
