Have you experienced loss and need help coping?

Loss can affect every part of our lives, leaving us feeling stuck, disconnected, and overwhelmed. It’s not just emotional—it can impact your energy, motivation, and sense of self-worth. Whether it’s the passing of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a change in your health or career, or even a growing sense of disconnection from who you once were, loss can take many forms.

On the outside, you may seem strong and in control, but inside, you might feel like you’re losing touch with yourself. If you’re feeling anxious, exhausted, or isolated, I’m here to help you process these emotions and begin to heal.

Hi, I'm Jean

Having experienced different kinds of loss myself, I understand just how deeply it can affect your life. Therapy played a crucial role in helping me recognise and process my own grief. In a safe, supportive environment, I learned to regain my strength and resilience, and I’m truly grateful to now offer that same support to others.

With many years of experience as a counsellor, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings at your own pace. My goal is to help you feel understood, accepted, and safe as we work through your emotions together.

Whether you’re dealing with loss, anxiety, or life changes, I’m here to walk alongside you.

How I work

Hi, I'm Jean

I have been a counsellor for thirteen years, after working in a college as a learning support assistant I noticed how the students’ often chaotic and at times traumatic backgrounds hindered their education which led me into training to be a counsellor. I did my foundational courses at West Kent College, moving onto a college in South Norwood to do my Diploma in Integrative Counselling awarded by the CPCAB. I received my accreditation with the British Association of Psychotherapists and Counsellors (BACP) 2018.

Summary of qualifications & experience:

  • Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling
  • Accreditation with BACP 2018 and also on their register
  • Level 4 in Integrative counselling award
  • Level 2 and 3 in counselling skills and theory
My training and experience

Testimonials

Jean’s counselling gave me a safe space to process a huge change in my life and all the smaller changes that came with it. It helped me to name lots of things I was experiencing and find language to talk about it all. She helped me reframe how I viewed things, allowing me to better understand and express my emotions.

The consistent sessions were invaluable as I worked through difficult emotions and challenging times. Jean also helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself, teaching me tools to navigate my emotions. This journey has made me feel more resilient, stronger, and better prepared for the future.

- A

I came to very deep and honest realisations. It was like walking through a dark cave at times, and knowing you have someone patting you on the back and guiding you through it. I now have an outlet of different strategies I can call back on if ever I need them, which were tried and tested through my sessions with Jean, I have a lot more knowledge about why my mind works in particular ways, and I now know that it is all entirely normal to sometimes feel the way I do. I have recommended Jean to multiple different people and will continue to do so.

-K

I feel good and proud of myself. You have created an environment where I could discuss anything without fear of judgement. I felt liberated to finally say how I felt and that it was justified. I learned that I was NOT WEIRD! I have no doubt I will start counselling again.

How I work

I believe in working at your pace. Everyone’s experience of grief and loss is different, and well-meaning advice from friends or family can sometimes make you feel like you need to hide your emotions or 'move on'. But real healing comes from being seen and understood right where you are.

In our sessions, we’ll work together to help you reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and find ways to cope with the challenges you’re facing. I incorporate tools or psychoeducation to offer you new insights and perspectives, helping you make sense of your situation, whether you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one, end of a relationship, a major life change, or unresolved grief.

How do I get started?

How I work

My approach integrates the psychodynamic with the person-centred and cognitive therapies which I believe offer insight and understanding into how we develop and relate to each other. I look at how the past impacts the present and I believe this approach offers a way forward for you to reach your full potential.

I think the relationship between the client and myself is key to the work of the therapy in building trust and safety.

I work at your pace, step-by-step, to help you gain insight into those triggers that may be causing you distress. These insights are important in dealing with unresolved events from the past.
