Client Experiences
Some reflections from clients.
“Jayne is not quite what I expected. Her down-to-earth approach and humour allowed me to face some uncomfortable aspects of my life. I look forward to our sessions and feel truly seen in a way I have never experienced before.”
“I feel completely comfortable and at ease with Jayne, safe to share and say anything. I genuinely look forward to our weekly sessions together and find them invaluable and insightful.”
“I thought I had a vague idea of what to expect from therapy before I attended my first session with Jayne. Afterwards I realised I had no clue about the power of the therapeutic relationship. From the very beginning Jayne’s total acceptance of me, along with her insightful reading of the issues I presented, began to fundamentally change the way I viewed myself, my relationships and the world.
Over the years she has been there for me as I embarked on a journey of self acceptance. No experience or emotion was too much for her. Drug abuse, a confusing sex life, work stress, family problems… no matter what I threw at her, Jayne had an ability to sort through it and present it back to me in a way that allowed a non-judgemental perspective.”
“Jayne was my first experience of counselling. I assumed that speaking with a counsellor would help, but I didn’t appreciate how different it would be working with a professional. Jayne brought a perspective and understanding to my challenges that I never would have reached on my own. I feel like I have a new way of working through the ups and downs of everyday life now.”
“I worked with Jayne for over six months during one of the most difficult periods of my life. She worked with me through this time by both supporting me and assisting me to face some more difficult truths that were hard to process.”
“When I first came to see Jayne, I was at crisis point in my life. I felt everything was a mess and on top of me and I didn’t know what to do, or where to turn. With Jayne’s kind, caring and compassionate approach, she helped me to deal with the immediate problems I was facing.
It was really the work that Jayne did with me afterwards, long term, that had such an incredible, positive impact on my life. It wasn’t easy facing some of the deep rooted issues that came up — some that I wasn’t even aware of — but I felt Jayne really understood me and gave me an environment where I felt safe, helped me to let go and not be scared.”
