I am Jane - a warm, experienced Integrative Counsellor working with individuals, couples and young people. Whether life feels overwhelming or you are simply ready for change, I am here to walk alongside you.
I am a Senior Integrative Counsellor with many years of experience, registered with the BACP. Having worked extensively in community and NHS settings, I currently work in private practice with adults, couples and adolescents.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches including Person-Centred, CBT, Transactional Analysis, Relational and Solution-Focused therapy - so that sessions are always tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
I also provide Reflective Supervision in Education for local councils, supporting senior leadership teams, pastoral teams and safeguarding professionals.
Making the first step can feel like the hardest part. That is why I offer a free initial telephone consultation - so you can decide whether I am the right counsellor for you, with no pressure.

Privacy Policy
As a sole trader your privacy is very important to me. You can be confident that your personal information will be kept safe and secure and will only be used for the purpose it was given to me. I adhere to current data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU/2016/679), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003.

Why I hold your information
If you are currently having therapy or are in contact with me to consider therapy, I will process your personal data where it is necessary for the performance of our contract. If therapy has ended, I will use legitimate interest as my lawful basis for holding your information.
Initial contact
When you contact me I will collect your name, contact details and some details about the kind of help you would like. If you decide not to proceed, all your personal data is deleted within 3 months.
While you are accessing counselling
Everything you discuss with me is confidential. Confidentiality will only be broken if required for legal reasons or if you or someone else was at risk of harm. I keep written session notes in a locked filing cabinet labelled with an anonymous code rather than your name. Text messages and emails are not retained for more than 3 months unless necessary.
After counselling has ended
Your records are kept for 8 years from the end of our contact and are then securely destroyed.
Your rights
You have the right to ask me to access, correct, delete or limit the use of your personal information. For more information visit ico.org.uk/your-data-matters.
Complaints
If you have any concerns please contact me in writing at jelcounselling@mail.com. I will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and respond with a clear outcome.
Data security
I use password-protected devices, locked filing cabinets, encrypted email and GDPR-compliant practice management software to keep your data safe.
