Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! My name is Janine.
I am a fully qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor. I provide therapy to adults and young people over 18 years old. I have a Masters with distinction in Integrative Counselling and am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy which means I strictly adhere to their ethical code of conduct. As well as my private practice, I work as a relationship counsellor for Relate Bradford & Leeds.
Before re-training, I worked in the music industry for twenty years at various independent record labels in London. Therefore, as well as working with a wide range of people, cultures and experiences, I also provide specialist counselling to musicians and music industry workers, as I understand the unique nature and distinct needs of the music community.
I learn a great deal from all of my clients. I feel humbled and inspired by each of them and the courage it takes to face difficulties to bring about meaningful change in their lives. To turn towards the hurt and the pain that life throws at us can feel like a huge mountain to climb in the beginning. However, sometimes it is not just about the need to feel better, but the need to better feel. Gaining this self-awareness is when healing can begin.
My integrative approach is principally relational and person-centred. This means that building genuine trust and respect in our therapeutic relationship, free from judgement, is my priority. I may also draw from other counselling theories such as CBT, psychodynamic, attachment theory, compassion focussed therapy, transactional analysis and feminist therapy. I adapt my approach to meet each client’s individual needs by working pluralistically. In other words, it is my belief that we are all unique and complex beings so collaboration and client preference is key.

Many people ask whether connecting with a therapist online can really help. For a range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes – online therapy has been found to offer effectiveness comparable to traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the way they meet that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it much easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
These services are provided by licensed professionals, and if someone feels they need a different match, it is possible to switch therapists at any time. For many people, online therapy provides a practical and effective route to support.
