Therapy for the Future

Feel connected and understood 

Gillian Jacobson Integrative Psychotherapist MNCS Prof Accred

Hello and a warm welcome.

​

"I am not what happened to me,

I am what I choose to become." (Jung)

​

The path to a happy and fulfilled life starts by finding a therapist

you can trust and embark on a healing journey with. 

​

Each of us carries our own baggage and personal struggles.

So many of us continue to struggle in silence due to stigma,

shame or fear. Life can be complicated, as things often happen that

can cause internal reactions and external behaviours that are difficult to bear.  If you have experienced things in your life that have left you feeling upset and distressed, because you are struggling to make sense of it, please know that you are not alone. Even though you are thinking that no one will understand, and feel afraid to talk about things,  I can offer you a safe space where you can begin to gently explore what's been so very difficult for you. 

​

You do not have to carry on alone anymore. If you have had counselling in the past or are seeking therapy for the first time, you have come to the right place.

​

I believe that we are all capable of making necessary changes in our lives to create the life we desire.

What can I help you with:

Depression, Low Mood, Intrusive Thoughts, Negative Thoughts, Motivation, Life Changes, Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Confusion, Self Doubt, Worry, Loneliness, Disordered Eating, Mindful Nutrition, Eating Psychology Coaching, Big or Small Traumas, Self Esteem, Self Confidence, Loss and Bereavement, Rejection, Relationship Problems, Anger, Identity, Finding Purpose and Meaning, Addictions, Coping Strategies, Decision Making.

How can I help you?

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and am an accredited

professional member of the National Counselling Society, 

which means my work adheres to their ethical standards.

Integrative psychotherapy draws on and integrates different

therapeutic techniques.

The main modes of therapy that I practise are

Person-Centred Therapy, Attachment Therapy,

Cognitive Behavioural therapy, and

Compassion Focused Therapy.

I also apply interventions from other modalities such as,

Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy,

Gestalt Therapy, and mind-body practises such as mindfulness,

breathing and visualisation techniques.

​

I have a particular affinity working with young adults in the

Generation Z and Millennial age range, especially since 

this time of life can be really challenging to navigate. Coupled with the pandemic and Covid 19, young adults have been particularly hard hit. 

​

Counselling can seem daunting as you may not know what to expect. From me, you can expect warmth, acceptance, non-judgment and a safe space to talk about things that are difficult.

My empathic nature helps me connect with you, understand your life story and experience, and sensitively respond to what you share with me. 

My priority is to work with sensitivity to your needs, supporting you through difficulties, uncertainties and personal struggles, always with the intention of finding the best way forward.

​
