THERAPIST

My name is Jaki, and I am a registered, qualified counsellor. There are so many of us who have feelings of sadness, loneliness, loss and frustration, and these are normal feelings and emotions. I have felt this way myself, feelings of depression due to bereavement, low self-worth and low self-esteem not knowing where to turn.

My therapeutic journey started with the loss of a significant person in my life, and I needed to explore the feelings and emotions that came with this. During this journey, I learned where these emotions stem from and why I reacted to certain situations the way I did. By allowing myself the space to explore these emotions with the support of a therapist, they allowed me to understand myself from a different perspective.

Since then, I have had the privilege of supporting young people who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I have also supported young people with disabilities, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. My aim is not about me fixing your problems but supporting you in your journey of self-discovery. I look forward to starting your journey with you.

I am Jaki and I am here to help.

THERAPIST

Feeling lost, alone, or frustrated? These feelings are normal. I experienced a time when I felt trapped and hopeless, overwhelmed by racing thoughts and emotions. It was as if everything around me was a blur, and I couldn’t be heard.

My therapy journey began during a period of chronic emotional pain, during which I desperately sought answers. I soon realized that I already had the answers within me; I just needed a little help to uncover my feelings, understand their origins, and determine where I wanted to go next. After overcoming my own struggles, fears, and emotional turmoil, I found peace in helping others navigate their journeys. I aim to provide the support that would have helped me during my difficult times.

Since starting my journey, I have worked with various community-based groups, including the LGBT+ community, where I focused on understanding identity and addressing the internal suppression of long-term emotions. I have also supported military personnel, veterans, frontline NHS staff and their families, assisting them in managing the unique challenges they face in both their personal and professional lives.
