HOW CAN I HELP?

Whatever difficulty you are facing I offer the support and tools you need to move forward with confidence.


I will work with closely with you to understand your individual needs and to develop your personalised therapeutic plan working with the mind, body and nervous system. 


For some, simply talking through challenges brings the clarity and support needed. For others this may not be enough and that’s why I have trained beyond traditional psychotherapy in EMDR (Eye movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and Breathwork to work with the mind and the body.  I will help you regulate your nervous system with body based practices, process and heal from trauma and psychological or emotional blocks, and reconnect with who you truly are to feel calmer, clearer and more empowered in yourself and relationships. 


EMDR  is a gentle, evidence based approach that helps you work through and heal from trauma, grief, anxiety, phobias and other emotional challenges. If discussing past experiences in details feels overwhelming, EMDR offers a safe and effective way to heal without having to relive the trauma. 

YOU HAVE THE CAPACITY TO GROW AND HEAL

I believe that no matter who you are or what you have experienced, you have the capacity to change, grow or heal. You may be in crisis or just want something to change but are not sure how to do that alone. Therapy will support you to gain greater self-awareness, understanding and self-acceptance so you can shift your experience to feel better, more able to cope and empowered. 


It’s really important that you find the right therapist for you. With this in mind, if you’d like to know more about getting some support I offer a free introductory call with absolutely no obligation. This is just a chat and at the end of it if you decide not to proceed that is absolutely fine. 

Client with Unresolved Teenage Trauma,  Struggling with Burnout - Early 50s

"I am so grateful that Jacqui was recommended to me as she was the perfect person to support me through a dark and difficult time in my life. Jacqui not only provided the comfort, reassurance and validation I so desperately needed, at times she gently questioned my actions or inactions and held me lightly accountable which ultimately led to real change. In addition to the therapy, the EMDR sessions helped me to have a different relationship with my trauma, which I am finally at peace with after 37 years.  For anyone looking to lighten their load or do some deeper work, I can't recommend therapy, and Jacqui in particular, enough."
