Hi thank you for visiting my profile. I work in an integrative way which means I use different counselling techniques depending on what works best for, you, the client. I believe in a person centred approach which helps clients to reconnect with their core values and sense of self-worth. This approach, along with other tools, can help facilitate the client's personal growth by enabling them to explore and utilise their own strengths. I also use CBT when appropriate and psychodynamic therapy.

Please check out my website - www.jeanmcminntherapy.co.uk - I believe that it is important for the client to feel secure and able to talk about whatever issues are troubling them. I aim to provide a supportive and responsive environment in which we can make sense of your particular difficulties. Understanding the impact of past experience on the present helps to increase self esteem and allows you to make important positive changes in your life. Counselling can help you to free yourself from limiting self beliefs, so you are free to move on in life and have more fulfilling relationships and satisfaction, health and strength.

I am passionate about helping people see past their problems to a future free from crippling toxic anxiety and depression. I travel with my clients on their journey of self-discovery, helping them find their own inner strength to deal with their own issues.

Adults, children and adolescents all need a space to explore and express their experiences, and for some this tends to be more difficult as they struggle to understand what they're feeling, never mind find the words to describe them to someone. People often find that when they voice their experiences, feelings, and worries, and confide in a professional who can offer support and help them make sense of these, they feel heard, understood, and often a little lighter from sharing the weight of these. I aim to help my clients to feel that little bit lighter.

I am an NCPS accredited and experienced CBT therapist. I enjoy working with adults but, having spent a long career in post-primary education, I have a particular affinity with young people aged 11 upwards. Concern about the stresses faced by young people and school staff was the motivation to train as a therapist. I have considerable insight into the pressures they face in today’s climate. I believe that, if their issues can be identified and addressed early on, they can be provided with the tools to become their own therapist for the rest of their lives.

Being human means there are complex, varying, and unbelievable situations and circumstances in life that need to be navigated and sometimes pushed through. It can be fun, and exciting but often it can be plain difficult and overwhelming.

As a counsellor and psychotherapist, my role is to provide space and guidance to help you on your journey to self-discovery; to enable you to examine your life and make new, meaningful choices within it. I use integrative humanistic, cognitive behavioural, and psychodynamic approaches to provide support. Many life events have given me the experience to explore my own personal qualities and inequalities with the potential to grow and to identify my own strengths and weaknesses. I have had extensive experience working with people living with dementia, families, and their carers.

Have you been struggling with how you feel? Maybe it is anxiety, depression, or a general emptiness in life. Would you like to better understand what is driving these feelings? Do you need the opportunity to be listened to, understood, and heard? We rarely get this in our lives, however counselling can provide this. Counselling creates a safe space where you will be able to share with me what is happening in your life. I can offer you a compassionate, attuned, and sensitive relationship where we can bring awareness to the source of these feelings. Through this awareness, understanding and acceptance, change happens.

I recognise that it can be hard to take that first step in asking for help therefore I have provided some information about my professional background which may help you in your decision-making. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental counselling service for individuals, providing a regular space and time for you to explore life’s current difficulties. As an integrative counsellor I believe that there is no single approach that can treat each client in all situations. Rather, each client needs to be considered as a whole and counselling techniques must be tailored to the individual needs and personal circumstances.

Life at times can be challenging and we can all feel the need for help and support, whether it be relationship problems, work, bereavement, trauma, emotional/sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, these can all have a massive effect on the quality of our life and if ignored, in some cases can result in various addictions as coping strategies.
