It begins with a conversation. A space where you can untangle what’s going on, reflect on what matters, and rediscover parts of yourself that may have gotten lost along the way. I’m JJ – a psychotherapeutic counsellor trained in Transactional Analysis, and I work online with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to understand themselves better. My approach is warm and collaborative, but also grounded and thoughtful. I’m here to listen, to ask the questions that matter, and to help you make sense of what’s beneath the surface. Before becoming a counsellor I spent years working in theatre – directing productions and running venues. I’ve led teams, worked with people at every level, and navigated the space where creativity meets real-world complexity. That experience taught me something fundamental: whether it’s on stage or in a therapy room, everything comes back to relationships and how we show up in them. My counselling room is open to everyone. My own journey as a gay, HIV+ man has taught me the value of finding someone who truly gets it. While I have particular experience with LGBTQIA+ individuals, people affected by HIV, and those in creative fields, what matters most is that you feel heard, safe, and understood. I bring sensitivity, lived experience, and warmth - peppered with a healthy dose of challenge. I continue my professional development as an Advanced Trainee in Psychotherapy, at The Berne Institute, continuing to deepen my practice every day. If you’re looking for someone who will meet you where you are – without judgment, with curiosity, and with care – let’s talk.

Who I work with:

Adults, couples

I specialise in working with women and couples navigating periods of change, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. Life transitions can quietly unsettle everything; relationships, identity, confidence, and your sense of self. You might be feeling anxious, stuck, disconnected, or carrying the weight of a difficult childhood into adult life. For some, this shows up in motherhood; for others, in relationships, work, or a persistent sense that something isn’t quite right. You don’t have to manage it alone. Since 2022, I’ve worked primarily in the voluntary sector, supporting unpaid carers, alongside many years of experience working with autistic children, adults, and their families. This work has shaped how I practice, with sensitivity to trauma, nervous system overwhelm, and the long-term impact of growing up without feeling fully seen or safe. At the heart of my work is creating a space where you can slow down and be met without judgement or expectation. A place to untangle what feels heavy, understand the patterns that keep repeating, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside. My approach is relational, thoughtful, and down-to-earth. Using Transactional Analysis, we explore how your early experiences shape the way you think, feel, and relate, to yourself and to others. Whether you’re coming alone or as a couple, our work is about building awareness, strengthening emotional safety, and supporting meaningful change. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you make sense of your story, so you can move forward with more clarity, steadiness, and self-compassion.

Who I work with:

Individuals and Couples

I am a psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer with a background in Transactional Analysis and Mentalization-Based approaches. My work is relational, reflective, and process-focused, with attention to how people make sense of themselves and others in the here-and-now. I work with adults and couples presenting with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and questions of identity, meaning, and belonging. I have particular experience working cross-culturally and with clients who feel ‘stuck’ despite considerable insight or previous therapy. As a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst (Psychotherapy), I also offer supervision and training. My clinical stance integrates contemporary TA with developmental and mentalizing perspectives, supporting both emotional depth and psychological flexibility. I practice with sensitivity to culture, migration, and lived context, and aim to create a therapeutic relationship that is thoughtful, collaborative, and emotionally safe.

Who I work with:

Adults

I am a relational transactional analyst counsellor. I use a combination of approaches and will adapt my style to suit your needs. Together, we focus on building self-awareness, confidence, and a stronger sense of who you are by joining the dots between yourself so you can make choices that feel more authentic and freeing in your day-to-day life. Therapy can feel daunting at first, so for those who are interested, I can use projective and creative techniques to help people bring their feelings and thoughts to life. One key approach employed is using Relational Transactional Analysis, which simply means I believe meaningful change happens through real, honest, and supportive relationships. Consequently, I endeavour to offer a warm and collaborative environment. My work is grounded in the present moment, but we also explore how past experiences and relationships may still influence how you feel, think, and relate to others today. Many of us develop patterns that once helped us cope but no longer serve us. By understanding where these patterns come from, we can begin to create new, healthier ways of relating to ourselves and those around us. I pay close attention to the impact of the social environment and the many layers that shape identity. Oppressive structures connected to race, gender, class, neurodiversity, and religion can create profound feelings of alienation and trauma. I offer Neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQI+-affirming therapy. We are all wired differently, and understanding our neurological and identity-based experiences can be deeply grounding. This can be especially valuable for those wanting to explore neurodiversity (ADHD/Autism ) diagnosis or Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity (GSRD).

Who I work with:

Adults

I’m an Integrative Psychotherapist based in St Helier, Jersey. My work is rooted in Transactional Analysis and guided by values of authenticity, compassion, and human connection. I offer a warm, attuned space where clients can gently explore the layers of their experience and begin to reconnect with their own sense of vitality and wholeness. I work with adults navigating trauma, loss and bereavement, stress, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges. My approach integrates somatic and polyvagal-informed practices, mindfulness, and attachment-based theory within a deeply relational frame. I believe that meaningful change arises through presence, trust, and the courage to be met as we are, in both our pain and our potential. I believe therapy should be accessible to everyone. To support this, I offer a limited number of sliding-scale spaces for those who may find my standard rate difficult to afford.
