Jen Jones
I’m an Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor and Trauma-Informed Therapist. I work with adults who may be struggling with the impact of difficult or painful experiences and are looking for a safe space to make sense of what they’ve been through such as Anxiety, Stress and Depression.
You may be living with the effects of trauma, PTSD or Complex PTSD, perhaps feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, on edge or finding that experiences from the past continue to affect your life and relationships. You may understand what has happened to you, but still find it difficult to move forward. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where we can gently explore what you have experienced, at your pace and without judgement.
I am also an Adoption Support Counsellor trained in adoption and care experience and work with adult adoptees and adults who have experienced the care system. Experiences of adoption or growing up in care can leave complicated feelings around identity, belonging, family, trust and relationships. You may be carrying questions or emotions that have never felt safe or possible to explore. Counselling can provide a space to make sense of these experiences and how they may continue to influence your life today.
I also specialise in relationship issues. Perhaps you find it difficult to trust others, set boundaries or communicate what you need. You may notice recurring patterns in your relationships, struggle with closeness or fear rejection or abandonment. Together, we can explore where these patterns come from and develop a greater understanding of yourself and the way you relate to others.
You don’t need to have everything worked out before coming to counselling. You may simply know that something doesn’t feel right, or that you’re tired of coping on your own. My approach is primarily Person-Centred and integrative, which means I tailor our work to you, your experiences and what you need. I believe that being genuinely heard, understood and accepted can be the beginning of meaningful change. If you feel ready to explore what is happening for you, I’m here to listen.
