S J Swinn Counselling

Hi 👋🏼 I am an Integrative Counsellor
practising from:
Gt Horkesley CO6 4HR
Life-Force Counselling Centre. Ethical Framework for good practice.

Counselling can help with a wide variety of issues,
including: anxiety, stress, depression, abuse, dependency, eating disorders, relationships, loss and bereavement,
to name but a few. My aim is to listen, to understand and to help you reach your potential. I can provide a safe, caring and confidential environment which may encourage self discovery and promote change, if appropriate. My approach is 'client-led',
which means I will go with you on your journey, supporting you and helping you seek clarity. I qualified in 2009 and am an Accredited Counsellor & Psychotherapist, with a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a Certificate in Creative Therapies and a Certificate in Relationship Counselling. I am also Lead Tutor, teaching students on an Accredited Diploma Counselling Course at Life-Force School of Counselling. I can offer you an initial assessment to discuss your particular situation, followed by weekly sessions of 50 minutes each, with the option of an open-ended agreement
if considered beneficial to you. I am a registered Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and am bound by the B.A.C.P. I undertake regular supervision, every month to adhere to B.A.C.P. requirements, and hold Indemnity Insurance, an Enhanced D.B.S Check and a Certificate in First Aid at Work. To make further enquiries or book an initial assessment please phone or text me on: 07764 764 609 or

I Have News!

I am so excited to share something with you that I have been working on for some time.

Over the past year, I’ve been listening deeply to women in midlife; highly capable, successful women who are juggling work, family, ageing parents, health and the quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet) shifts that come with this stage of life.

What I heard, again and again, was a longing for:

⭐ A space that isn’t “woo woo” but still compassionate and human.
⭐ Tools that are grounded in research and clinical practice.
⭐ Connection with other women who “get it.”
⭐ Permission to pause, reset and rediscover themselves.

That’s why I’ve created The Flourish Midlife Programme. A supportive, research-based and practical 6 week online journey designed for women who are ready to:

⭐ Reduce overwhelm and stress.
⭐ Reconnect with their purpose and identity.
⭐ Build emotional resilience and balance.
⭐ Learn to Flourish, not just cope, through the changes of midlife.

I’m a psychotherapist, but also a woman in midlife myself. I know the challenges, the questions and the quiet doubts. I’ve walked this path and it’s why I feel so passionate about walking alongside others too.

If this speaks to you, or to women you know, please reach out, share or follow along as I share more in the coming weeks.

To get you started, I have created a FREE Midlife Toolkit for you to download here 👇

Unstable Sense of Self
A stable sense of self means that we know who we are, we know our values, our opinions, our likes and dislikes. When these aspects of ourselves are known and consistent to us, it provides stability and informs decision making in our lives.

Someone suffering from BPD will say they don't know who they are and if they do, it changes with their mood. As the sense of identity, values, opinions, likes and dislikes changes according to mood, they are inconsistent. This makes having a sense of identity elusive and very hard to make Wise Mind decisions to meet their needs.

It is possible to develop a better sense of self by gaining self awareness, identifying personal values (not values that have been put there by others) and engaging in therapy.
