About Me

Jayne listening June 2025_edited.jpg

My  journey 

My interest in working with adult children of narcissistic parents comes from both professional training and personal experience. I understand the deep, often hidden impact this kind of upbringing can have and how powerful it is to begin untangling those patterns in a safe, supportive setting.

 

Over time, I've worked with many clients who have experienced the painful effects of narcissistic relationships and it remains close to my heart.  

​

My experience

I have counselled children, young people and adults in national mental health organisations dealing with an extensive range of problems in a time limited capacity. These include anxiety, depression, OCD, self-harm, relationship issues, low self-esteem and loss. I also have vast experience supporting autistic clients.  Please note, I only counsel adults over the age of 18.

​

I am a qualified life coach and offer counselling and coaching services combined for those who are interested in receiving help with achieving goals or overcoming barriers to success.

​

I have knowledge and experience counselling in surrogacy. I offer one to one therapy for IP’s (intended parents), surrogates and support workers coping with the unique challenges these journeys may bring. I have also provided supervision to staff members in a surrogacy organisation.

​

I have a post graduate diploma in trauma therapy supporting clients within this complex field. You may be suffering bodily symptoms as a result of trauma and we work together to make sense of them through therapies such as body psychotherapy (no touch). I am currently training in EMDR (Eye movement & desensitisation reprocessing) to further my skills in trauma therapy and will become an EMDR specialist in June 2026.

​

I've completed an intensive eating disorder course to further enhance the level of interventions I can offer clients. Please note, I do not provide counselling for clients in eating disorders.

​

I've studied Transactional Analysis (TA) at a foundation year level. This approach is incredibly helpful for uncovering unconscious processes and understanding relationships on a deeper level. Using TA, I can help you explore relationships that may have been or are difficult and stressful to navigate through. I offer therapeutic support to one partner that is part of a couple or family to understand their belief systems and how they can grow effectively as a unit. I am sorry but I do not counsel couples.

​

I am a fully qualified supervisor and offer supervision to trainee counsellors and qualified therapists.

I have achieved accreditation through the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).  

Testimonials

"The realisation that my mum is a covert narcissist was all at once liberating and devastating. Through our counselling sessions Jayne has provided a safe and empathetic space to enable me to process this information and to navigate the next steps. 

 

After a lifetime of setting myself impossible standards, extreme self criticism and never putting myself first, to be able to accept who I am and to work out what I want feels amazing.

 

I can’t recommend Jayne enough, this counselling has been life changing in the best possible way."
