Therapy with Janine

BACP Registered Counsellor. In person and online counselling for women. Based in Rayleigh, Essex. www.therapywithjanine.co.uk

Helping women to shed the layers and reconnect with themselves through talking therapy integrating somatic techniques. As a person-centred counsellor, I work with adult individuals both face to face and online via Zoom helping with a wide variety of issues. The person-centred approach means that I am here to listen without judgement, to offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore what is going on in your world and to help you make sense of things. I won't tell you what to do as I believe that we all hold our own answers deep down - but sometimes we just need a little support in figuring things out. I draw on my training and knowledge to offer therapeutic insights from a range of Psychology and Psychotherapy models. I tailor my approach to each client that I see as I don't believe in 'one size fits all'. Your experience of therapy should be as unique as you are and I work collaboratively with you to work out what approach will work best for you. There is no set number of sessions that you need to have - I offer both short term and longer term options. We can discuss this in our first session. One of the most important factors when embarking on counselling is the relationship between counsellor and client. Developing a good relationship based on mutual trust and respect will enhance your experience of therapy and is the most effective vehicle for change. To make sure that we are a good fit for each other, I offer a free 15 minute initial phone call so that we can get to know each other before deciding whether to work together. It's an opportunity for you to tell me a little about why you are seeking counselling at this time and ask any questions. I will tell you about me and how I work and from there we can set up an appointment to meet for our first session. To book an initial phone call, email me at therapywithjanine@gmail.com

Such a lovely thoughtful gift from a client whose time with me has just come to an end.

It’s a real privilege to support people who are going through hard things but it’s super lovely to hear how I’ve helped them along the way. It reaffirms why I do what I do.

I never expect gifts, but I’m feeling very appreciated right now which is lovely and affirming and makes me feel like I’m doing something right, even when my inner critic makes me doubt myself at times!

Hi all,

I’ve been a bit quiet on my page recently, but I’ve been busy behind the scenes engaging in lots of CPD training!

Some of my recent trainings include:

💗 Shadow Side of The Feminine
💗 Dismantling Internalised Misogyny
💗 Embodying Feminine Intelligence
💗 The Narcissist and The Empath : The Magnetics That Draw Them Together
💗 When Therapists Become Activists
💗 Intro To Holistic Mental Health

As a therapist I am feeling myself naturally grow and change the more I learn and as a result, I’ve made a decision moving forwards that I want to exclusively support women.

I’m so passionate about empowering other women to shed the layers of expectation and the masks we wear and to connect with themselves more fully. More on this to come in future posts.

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been redesigning and rewriting my website. It’s got a fresh new look and I thought I would share it here! 😊

🌼 International Women’s Day 🌼

I’ve written and deleted this post several times - I’m having trouble knowing where to start this year.

There is so much to say on the treatment of women in today’s world, but also on how amazing women are and all the ways in which we shine and embody strength, beauty, courage and wisdom - but I fear once I start, I may not stop!!

So I will just say this:

We must do better.

And by WE, I mean all of us.

We must continue to call out discrimination when it shows up, and to recognise our work as women to dismantle our own internalised misogyny.

It’s 2026, and women’s rights are STILL being stripped away and inequality and misogyny are STILL rife.

Well they would be wouldn’t they when we live in a patriarchy. A system which is designed for there to be oppression and dominance over women. In some parts of the world, the treatment of women and girls is nothing short of barbaric.

When women support each other, we are stronger together. 👭🏻 As a therapist, I’m more passionate than ever about advocating for and supporting women to find their own voice, to strip away the layers of conditioning that society piles on, to let go of all the ‘shoulds ’ and to start living authentically.

To return to a wholeness that that world has chipped away. There was a time when women were once revered, respected and valued for the wisdom and strength they possess. But over time, we’ve been devalued and conditioned to accept less than we deserve.

I’m wishing a Happy international Women’s Day to all of my wonderful clients, who are doing the work of healing, raising families, chasing their dreams and smashing their goals in a system that is pitted against them.

And to my daughters, who I watch with pride as they follow their dreams - don’t let anything hold you back or dim your light girls. 💗

I see you, and I celebrate you. 🎉

The world needs our strength but also our softness. Imagine how life could be so very different if women were in charge. 🤔💭

As Friday rolls around again I just want to encourage you to exhale.

If you’ve been holding a lot this week, can you take a moment to notice what sensations you feel in your body?

Are your shoulders hunched? Are you clenching your jaw? Do you notice a tightness in your chest?

With so much going on for so many of us personally, and with the chaos of our world throwing us all into a state of grief, shock, heartbreak and disbelief, it’s so important to breathe out and try to find a sense of calm within ourselves.

When it feels like the world is on fire, we must remember that there is still good in the world. There is still joy and love and laughter to be found.

These are difficult times, but you’re never alone.

As we approach Valentine’s Day, a gentle reminder to include yourself in the love you so freely give to others.

It starts with us.

Self love, always. 💗🌸💘

Have you ever wondered what therapy even is?! 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Strap in - it’s a long one!! 😄

There are lots of common misconceptions about therapy - and therapists! One of which is that we just ‘sit and listen’. This is so far from the truth!! 🙈

Of course we listen, but there is rather a lot more to it than that, otherwise we wouldn’t need all those years of training would we!

I want to break down what therapy means to me:

Therapy is so much more than simply supporting someone with their mental health. That’s really just the generic catch-all phrase that we use.

It’s also helping them to break out of unhealthy, often toxic or abusive dynamics that have affected their sense of self; destroyed their confidence and obliterated their self-esteem.

It’s helping them to reclaim their own identity and develop a belief in themselves that they are worthy of love, care and consideration for being exactly who they are.

It’s helping them to live with purpose and feel safe and confident to be authentic without apology.

It’s hearing someone’s story, and validating their experience. It’s holding their pain so they don’t have to hold it alone.

It’s reassuring them that they aren’t broken or going mad.

It’s being a lighthouse in the storm for them with things feel turbulent and out of control.

Helping them to navigate the waves and make it to shore safely.

It’s helping them to look at the beliefs they hold about themselves and question if those beliefs are really theirs or someone else’s.

And if they do belong to them, are they still helpful and valid or are they causing them to stay stuck, small, anxious and afraid?

It’s making people feel seen. It’s making them feel held and understood. It’s making them feel cared for; that they matter to someone.

It’s helping them to recognise that they were never the problem. They are reacting to the difficult, painful, abusive, traumatic things that have happened to them.

They are not broken. They don’t have a mental health condition at all. They are not a set of labels that the medical model of psychiatry and psychology has decided they have.

They are a human being reacting to the conditions they find themself in, with the programming and conditioning they had growing up and the tools and resources that they had available to them at the time.

It’s teaching people a different perspective. It’s encouraging a growth and self-compassionate mindset.

It’s passing on my knowledge, skills, experience and understanding of helpful tools and resources to help people grow and build resilience all while being themselves.

It’s that and so much more. I could write an essay on all the ways therapy can help people.

Ultimately, therapy is a chance to grow.

It’s a chance to change things for the better.

It’s not the therapy alone that is somehow going to magically make everything better. The person coming to therapy has to be an active participant in that change.

But I’ve witnessed some pretty miraculous things over the years when it comes to human struggle and thriving after adversity. 💫

People never cease to amaze me for the strength they can unearth when they’re willing to do the work.

My hope is that with this post I might have challenged some of the misconceptions about therapy and made even just one person think differently about it and its benefits.

If you want to experience all of those things and more with me, I’d love to hear from you. I have spaces with no waiting list and would love to support you on your healing journey.

I’ve just got off the phone with a prospective new client after they took me up of my offer of a free initial phone chat.

In fact, this is my standard practice for all new clients, and here’s why…

It’s so important that you feel comfortable with the therapist you chose to work with, after all, you will be sharing some profoundly personal details with this person and a strong therapeutic relationship needs to be at the heart of this. 💖

I think it’s so important that people get to hear my voice and get a sense of who I am before making such an important and potentially life-changing decision.

I don’t say that lightly - working with the right therapist for you can be life changing!

Finding someone who can give you a really safe, nonjudgmental space to talk about your feelings and your personal history is fundamental.

Finding someone who can offer new perspectives and wisdom drawn from a variety of theoretical approaches is equally important to help you make sense of your past but give you the tools and confidence to move forwards.

The initial phone call also serves another purpose; it helps me to make sure that I feel I am equipped with the right skill set to be able to help people. And I will be totally honest if I feel your issues may be best supported by another professional or modality of therapy. (I will help with an onward referral).

Either way, that 15/20 minutes on the phone is the start of a healing journey for many clients and I feel it’s super important to make it as warm, welcoming and non-intimidating as possible. 🕊️

I do have spaces at the moment so DM or email me if you’d like to book a free phone chat to discuss how I can help you feel better and move forwards.
