About Jay...
I have extensive experience working in the UK and USA with individuals, couples and groups in a range of private, corporate, collective and NHS settings and with on-site trauma management.  I am an accredited practitioner of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP Accredited Practitioner) and a member of Independant Professional Therapists International (IPTI).  The BACP published my masters research findings relating to well being and the IPTI published an article I wrote regarding the supervision of practitioners.  

I have studied and explored holistic approaches to developing and maintaining physical and psychological health, for almost twenty years, since 1993, and still continue my studies.      

For several years I have co facilitated a variety of therapeutic events with my colleague Frances Taylor. 


How I Work...
My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is integrative and tailored to your situation and requirements. In an initial meeting we assess and explore any changes you would like to make in your life.  If we wish to work together, we agree a way forward which we review as we progress. If, during our initial meeting, it transpires that another type of intervention may be more appropriate I could offer you a referral to one of my associates or a related service.

You are able to bring issues which affect your thoughts, feelings or behaviour; for example, relationship difficulties, stress, bereavement, depression, anxiety, health problems, workplace problems, low self esteem, drug/alcohol issues, sex/sexuality, isolation, physical, emotional and sexual abuse.    

My continuing aim is to provide ethical, therapeutic services which support and enable people to discover ways to live more satisfying and relaxing lives, to fulfill their potential and to develop in directions meaningful to the individual, couple, or group.
