Jeannette Mason

Jeannette Mason welcomes people who are ready to take the step of finding a therapist and recognises the courage that involves. She offers counselling and psychotherapy as a way to make sense of difficult patterns and to begin feeling better.

She works with anxiety - including generalized anxiety - depression, low self-esteem and lack of confidence, relational difficulties, and with people who have or suspect they have ADHD or ADD. Jeannette is a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor trained in psychotherapy and counselling, a registered member of MBACP - a professional UK counselling association - and she works within their ethical framework.

Jeannette holds a Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis from an Integrative Perspective. Her approach is warm, interactive and non-judgemental, offering an empathic space in which to explore feelings and their impact. She tailors treatment to each person, forming a collaborative plan that is specific to individual needs.

She is trained in Transactional Analysis and Integrative Psychotherapy. Transactional Analysis examines ego states and the patterns of interaction that can complicate relationships, while Integrative Psychotherapy explores deeper reasons for how people develop and why they suffer in particular ways. Her practice is informed by neurobiological research, which shapes how she understands trauma and emotional distress.

Jeannette aims to help clients build a stronger sense of self and to restore positive self-esteem where it is lacking. She recognises that many people carry traumatic experiences from childhood or adulthood and that discussing these experiences can be an important part of moving forward. In general, she expects symptoms to begin improving within the first month and to continue lifting over the following months, while acknowledging that some situations take longer to resolve.

With a background in General Nursing, Jeannette brings experience of working with mental distress that can be connected to physical illness as well as other life challenges. The first session is an opportunity to meet, consider what is needed from therapy and to see if she is a good fit. She is open to both short-term and long-term working arrangements.
