About Janet

During my thirties, I found myself in a senior management position, having accomplished the career goals I had set for myself. Despite these achievements, during that time of the death of my Father, a relationship break up and work issues, I felt like something was broken or needed fixing inside me and I didn’t know what to do.

I felt lost, confused, and frightened and when I came across a Counselling course with Cruse Bereavement Care as part of my work requirement this was the start of my experience with Counselling. 

Enrolling in the course helped me begin to make sense of some of the internal struggles I was experiencing. I came to realise that, among other things, I was grieving. However, even after completing my training, I continued to feel incomplete. Although I was helping others, I found that I was neglecting my own needs. This pattern persisted for years as I pursued further therapeutic interventions and explored a variety of healing modalities and belief systems.

Learning to Attend to My Own Needs

I  met spiritual teacher and speaker Zahir Khan at a talk on Non-Duality and Self-Enquiry. Working with him helped me recognise the needs and areas of my life I had been avoiding. Gradually, I began to face difficult emotions, make decisions and have honest conversations.

Present Day 

I am sharing this part of my story because I believe it is important for prospective clients  to know that I genuinely understand how challenging these experiences can be. 
I am someone who has personally grappled with and found meaning in problems, failures, poor judgements, and difficult decisions. My journey has been about more than just surviving.

It is never too late to start this journey. In my practice, I work with clients aged between the ages of 22 and 85, and all begin to thrive once they recognise the value of this work.
Exploring emotions and recognising your needs can be challenging. 
But you do not have to approach this alone.

If this resonates with you, please get in touch. I offer a free telephone consultation to briefly discuss your concerns and explore whether we would feel comfortable working together.

The only thing that stops you being free, is the belief that you aren’t free already
