About

Jacintha Canary is a South African immigrant who now resides in the United Kingdom and brings more than 25 years of experience in counselling, mental health and wellbeing work.

Her Christian faith is an important part of her identity, and she welcomes people of all faiths, spiritual backgrounds and those without faith. She has practised across family therapy and couple counselling and has supported people with anxiety, domestic abuse, trauma, abandonment, addictions and grief, as well as with resilience, anger, forgiveness and adapting to life changes.

Jacintha has particular experience with cultural transition and the challenges of moving to a new country, family interactions and dynamics, workplace change and community shifts. She uses a person-centred approach – facilitating exploration rather than offering ready-made answers – and supports integration of past and present experiences to promote self-understanding and growth.

In her clinical work she also applies the QSL (Quantum Social Learning) framework and HEAL (Human Experience Augmenting Language) methodology, approaches that use body mapping, attention to sensations and reflective listening to assist self-exploration and healing. She holds a primary teaching qualification, a sports qualification in basketball, a Post Graduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, a Certificate in the QSL Framework and Methodology (www.iolee.life) and community leadership qualifications.

Jacintha has completed many further courses in resilience, forgiveness, anger and unforgiveness, conflict resolution, mental health, mentoring and coaching. Having been a therapy client herself, she draws on that personal experience to offer an authentic, compassionate presence while walking alongside people on their journey toward improved wellbeing.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is practical flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. That variety makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care during transitions. Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals, and clients may choose to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, the convenience and accessibility of remote sessions make therapy a more achievable and sustainable option.
