Most people don’t come to therapy because life is going well.
They come because either: they’re exhausted from carrying difficult feelings, have an inner critic that is really mean, feel stuck in the same relationship patterns, are navigating loss, struggling to speak up, have difficulty communicating, or wondering why they keep ending up in the same place despite trying so hard to change.
I’m Jane, an Accredited Member of the BACP, and have spent 10 years working with trauma, attachment/relationship difficulties, low self-worth, harmful behaviours, bereavement, and the inner critic. My role is to help you understand yourself deeply, so that you can move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
Because when we understand ourselves fully, our relationships with other people improve, and this is because they are both deeply connected.
At The Therapy Shed®, we work together to unpack what you are carrying in a secure, grounded space. Reclaim your sense of connection: take that first step today.
Many of the difficulties we experience as adults have roots in earlier relationships and life experiences. Together, we explore what’s happening beneath the surface, the ‘why’, helping you understand old patterns and move toward building healthier new ones.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, carrying a deep sense of shame, feeling disconnected or stuck, and they leave with a greater sense of self-awareness, feeling more authentic, grounded, with a clearer sense of direction.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, loss, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem, anger, or simply a feeling that something isn’t quite right, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and move forward.
Because lasting change doesn’t come from fixing who you are. It comes from understanding yourself differently.
Individual counselling sessions are £55. For relationship therapy (including couples, siblings, or professional pairs), the fee is £75.
I offer a reduced rate of £45 for counselling students and hold two spaces for low-income clients: please enquire direct for current availability.
Many of us carry things we struggle to put into words. A persistent unease, patterns that keep repeating, or a quiet sense that something isn’t quite right. If any of what follows feels familiar, you are not alone.
These are common topics people come to see me about. Please do get in touch to ask any questions.
Supporting adults (18+) through anxiety, rage, bereavement, and the struggles of people-pleasing or perfectionism in a private, confidential setting.
Helping any two people – from romantic partners to adult children and their parents – navigate conflict and rediscover their bond.
Choosing the right counsellor is vital. Here is how we establish a way of working together.
01
I recommend a telephone conversation initially so that I can answer any immediate questions and get an idea of what you want to achieve out of counselling.
02
In our first session, we take some time to see if I am the right counsellor for you. If we move forward, we usually meet once a week for 50 minutes.
03
As you feel more settled, we continue to explore your experiences, gaining the insight needed to build a more resilient and fulfilled life.

Therapy gives you space to understand yourself better, and to explore patterns in your relationships. It can foster greater self-acceptance, curiosity, help to increase self-awareness and thereby bring more choice and greater freedom in how you live. I work in a relational, compassionate and supportively challenging way, providing a space where you can be heard, understood and empowered to find your own way forward.
I work with people facing a wide range of difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem, identity struggles, addiction, relationship problems, issues around sexuality, work or study challenges, procrastination and the emotional impact of physical illness.
Therapy brings a lot of benefits, here is a list of just a few of the main ones.
People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. It’s worth remembering that an event or set of circumstances that may not trouble one person, can be traumatising to another. We’re all different. During therapy I encourage clients to talk about what’s causing them pain or problems, however important or trivial it seems.
There is no pre-determined fixed amount of time to do therapy. Some clients find they get what they need from only a few sessions, whilst others find they want to continue to explore and grow through therapy for months or years. You are free to stop therapy whenever you wish to do so, and continued therapy is through mutual agreement.
