Hello! I’m Jackie,
A passionate and dedicated counsellor
My passion for working with young people ignited from a deep desire to give back and contribute to the lives of those who, like me, have faced challenges during their formative years.
I believe that therapy is more than just a process; it’s about connection and navigating their experiences without fear of judgment. Having been on both sides of the therapeutic journey, I understand the profound impact that a supportive presence can have. My own experiences have taught me that healing begins with trust and understanding, and it’s this philosophy that guides my work.
My Approach
A Tailored Therapeutic Approach Designed to Empower and Support Your Unique Journey Through Life’s Challenges
Every young person’s journey is unique, and I believe that therapy should reflect that individuality. Using a range of therapeutic approaches—including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Interventions, and Narrative Therapy—I tailor my sessions to suit each client’s needs and goals. Whether it’s overcoming anxiety, managing grief, or building better relationships, I strive to empower individuals with the skills and resilience they need to thrive.
Rooted in empathy and collaboration
To prepare myself I pursued a double degree in Psychological Science and Counselling and am currently working towards a Graduate Diploma (Advanced ) in Psychological Science. Combined with my four years of experience working in secondary schools and mental health settings, this background has given me valuable insights into the unique challenges adolescents and their parents face, particularly regarding issues of exclusion and friendships.
My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration. This approach empowers young people to confront their challenges and discover their strengths. Together, we can navigate the complexities of adolescence and pave the way for a brighter, more hopeful future.
Learning from Experience
“I believe in the power of reflection and personal growth. Every experience, whether positive or challenging, offers valuable lessons that contribute to our development. We encourage young people to embrace their experiences, learn from them, and use those insights to build resilience and make informed choices moving forward.”
