About Jay...
I began my therapeutic career in 1993, initially as a massage therapist. I studied and explored holistic approaches to developing and maintaining physical, emotional and spiritual health and in 1996 qualified as a practitioner of counselling/psychotherapy, and went on to qualify as a trainer and supervisor of practitioners.
My experience of working in the field of natural health is extensive. I have worked with individuals, couples and groups in a range of private, corporate, collective and NHS settings.
I co facilitate a variety of therapeutic events with my colleague Frances Taylor. Facilitating practitioner development is an area of great interest to me; practitioner well-being was the research theme of my masters degree.
I am an accredited practitioner of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a member of the Independent Professional Therapists International.
How I Work...
I work in an integrative way 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 you wish to continue we agree a way of working together, 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.
Over the years I have found people come to therapy for many different reasons; for example, stress, relationship difficulties, bereavement, depression, anxiety, health problems, low self esteem, drug/alcohol misuse, issues around sex/sexuality, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, isolation, problems in the workplace and for making changes.
My continuing aim is to provide ethical, therapeutic services which support and enable people to discover ways to live more satisfying and relaxing lives.
