A space where all of you is welcome
Hi, I'm Jess. I'm a person-centered counsellor psychotherapist based in Barrow-in-Furness and Ulverston, Cumbria, working in person and online.
My practice is for anyone who is looking for a therapist who is warm, relatable, compassionate, exploratory, open-minded and willing to learn. I offer authenticity and warmth in a space that can, sometimes, feel scary. I'm led by your experience, and trust in your self-expression.
There was a time I needed to connect with someone who could hear me, without judgement, while I explored what was troubling me. That's what I aim to be for you; a safe space to explore whatever is happening for you, at your pace.
"
My practice largely centres around relationship issues, queer issues, relationship diversity and neurodiversity.
However, you don't need to be bringing any of these issues for us to work together. The most important thing is resonating with what feels right, and creating a human to human connection. If you feel I'm the right person to connect with, for where you are right now, I welcome whatever you're bringing.
Some issues I have experience working with include, but are not limited to;
Relationship difficulties
LGBTQIA+ issues 🏳️🌈
Sex and Intimacy
Perimenopause/Menopause/PMDD
Neurodiversity in adulthood
Anxiety, Stress & Worry
Identity
Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD)
Parental wellbeing
Life changes and transitions
Self discovery
Reproductive trauma
🏳️🌈 I am an LGBTQIA+ and GSRD (Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity) affirming practitioner and offer a sex-positive space, for those exploring aspects of sexual and gender identity, and alternative relationship styles such as non-monogamy.
Therapy can be a useful space to explore and unlearn; especially for those who are struggling with how they feel, are discovering more about themselves at a later age, or may be struggling to express their authentic selves in an environment where that may be difficult.
