Her ability to meet clients with empathy and understanding allows her to build strong, trusting relationships that empower lasting change.
Personal Journey into Counselling
Jeanette’s journey into counselling was inspired by deeply personal experiences. She volunteered as a Samaritan for three years, motivated by supporting a close family member through challenging times.
After receiving counselling herself for several months and finding renewed clarity and resilience, she was inspired to retrain as a counsellor, in order to support others on their journey towards wellness and happiness.
Whilst training at university at the age of 58, she was diagnosed with dyslexia; an experience that gave her a new understanding of her own challenges at school and deepened her empathy for young people who struggle with learning difficulties or feel misunderstood.
Her life experience, warmth, and resilience shine through in her therapeutic work, allowing clients to feel comfortable, valued, and supported in exploring even the most difficult emotions.
