Jacky has a Bsc (Hons) degree from the London School of Economics. In 2012 she retrained for four years in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy at the Wealden Institute of Psychology. Jacky has also attended a number of shorter training courses, as well as training in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), couples counselling, neuroscience and working with children.

I am a therapist offering counselling and psychotherapy and I provide both short and long term work, dependent on individual need. I work competently across a range of difficulties including: personality disorders, depression, anxiety, Anger management and issues related to low self-esteem.

I hold my core values of respect, mutuality and empathy at the heart of my work. My wish is to provide a confidential, safe and supportive space in which trust can be built between us, and your problems can be respectfully explored thus allowing change to happen should you wish.

I work with adults, children of all ages, couples and groups and have experience of working in a variety of settings including mental health (NHS), Clinical, schools and charitable organisations. I also have a private practice. I am particularly passionate about group work and have been involved in setting up and running of various groups in a variety of settings for both children and adults. I am also interested in neuroscience and the way it informs my practice. It is important to me that I work from a holistic perspective and therefore I often incorporate body psychotherapy into my work.
