Testimonials
Reflections from clients who’ve shared their journey with me.
“I loved working with Janie as a therapist. She brought a combination of warmth, deep knowledge, and genuine compassion to her work. Her imaginative approach to therapy created a space that felt both safe and expansive, allowing for real healing, insights and growth. Working with her was a transformative experience, and I'm deeply grateful for the warmth and support she offered.”
“Working with Janie has been the single best decision I have made for my long-term health and wellbeing. I have never experienced anything which made me want to complain during my 18 month long period of regular sessions. Janie takes things at your pace and adapts herself to you, whilst incorporating interesting and alternative methods to help in your journey. In addition, I felt the benefit of her scientific background in combination with her varied life experiences. This lent a depth to the sessions and a breadth of understanding. The sessions are calming and grounding and I never felt judged or as if I wasn't being listened to.”
“Some changes in my life this last year led me to seek counselling. When I started working with Janie I was overwhelmed, exhausted and struggling with a serious lack of self-belief. Janie has been a kind and skilful companion who has listened, questioned and guided me to understand myself and my reactions better - and most importantly, to treat myself with kindness. I have felt more centred and grounded and have been feeling much more optimistic about the future.”
“Working with Janie has helped me clear out what I can only describe as my “psychological tool shed” — sorting through years of thoughts, patterns, and coping strategies that had become cluttered and confusing. During a period of personal turmoil, our sessions gave me a space to pause, make sense of what had been happening, and recognise the part I could play in responding differently. I’ve come away with a greater sense of clarity, accountability, and possibility — and the confidence to move forward in a way that feels more intentional and truer to myself.”

“I booked in sessions with Janie at a time when I needed some external help. I didn’t know that over the course of 5 months I could feel so much better and more in control of where my future was heading. I had become overwhelmed with my responsibilities and roles in life that I had lost who I was. Janie’s multi approach was tailored to my individual needs and she very quickly grasped what type of person I was and what I was needing to help me move forwards and sift through all my problems and transition into the next chapter of my life. Many thanks Janie and I highly recommend anyone to use Janie’s counselling services.”
“Janie's help has been transformative in a time in my life when everything was overwhelming. Janie’s kindness and compassion immediately established a safe environment for me. Janie's approach allowed me to try different techniques—including creative work, 'parts' work, and somatic exercises—which I now use day-to-day. The online sessions meant I could attend comfortably from home, which made all the difference. I appreciated the text and email reminders that ensured I was ready for each session. I highly recommend Janie to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive counsellor.”
