Jayne offers a very supportive empathetic therapeutic approach, founded in deep theoretical knowledge. Jayne has been amazing in helping me understand my responses to the world around me and to be more compassionate towards myself. She not only gives you space to share and reflect on your feelings, but provides education that helps you move forward. Our sessions have transformed many aspects of my life.

Have been seeing Jayne for over 4 years, having first started sessions with her following sexual trauma. She has helped me to talk through many different situations and stressors in my life over the years, and thought me essential skills such as mindfulness and CBT. I am a completely different person to who I was 4 years ago, and find that the skills and techniques Jayne has thought me have truly changed the way I manage my anxiety and stress.

I have been seeing Jayne for approximately one year now. From the beginning I found her very easy to talk to and honestly felt that she really listened and understood me. Jayne has a broad knowledge of various different things and follows up sessions with notes. She has helped me with ongoing problems and does not at all push me if I don’t feel comfortable with a certain topic. I would highly recommend her.

Jayne has been absolutely brilliant and has helped me navigate some trauma recovery and an ADHD diagnosis. Her supportive nature and her ability to challenge me has been instrumental to me getting back to life!

Jayne is truly the best therapist I have been to. She’s open, accommodating, very knowledgeable and she really tailors the sessions to what I need as an individual (most other therapists I’ve been to had discussed things in a broader more general sense). My life has improved immensely since I began seeing her.
