Jolie Compton Counselling

As this year draws to a close, I want to say thank you.

Thank you to the women, mothers, creatives, partners, and quiet warriors who trusted me with their inner worlds. This year I have witnessed clients gently untangle trauma bonds, old patterns, reclaim their voice after silence, soften anxious nervous systems, grieve endings with honesty, rebuild self-trust, strengthen their self-leadership skills, and return to their bodies with more agency and pleasure.

I’ve walked alongside women navigating matrescence, menopause, heartbreak, repair, building businesses, calling in new relationships, identity shifts, burnout, creative blocks, and the deep remembering of who they are beneath survival. The courage I’ve seen this year has been extraordinary. I know many have found 2025 to be a year of stripping away and endings.. But also a time for clarity, revision, rebirth and new beginnings.

It is a privilege to do this work 🙏

Recently I held an inspiring session with a long-term client who is both a fantastic artist and a powerful singer. Something remarkable came together. She told me about a recent performance and the moment she felt it land.

She was on stage, completely at ease in her body, her voice, her presence. The audience adored her. And then it hit her.
Oh my God. I am actually doing it. I am here.

There was no trace of imposter syndrome. Just the quiet certainty that she had finally arrived in the version of herself she had been working toward for years. She recognised her own unique presence on stage, a signature way of being that will shape her future performances.

What moved me was knowing what it took to reach that moment. The years of becoming more true to her authentic self. The places where she used to over give until she burned out. The way the artist in her would slip into the background while she held everything else together. And slowly, steadily, she learned to ask for what she needed. She learned to stop over giving. She learned that preserving her energy was directly tied to preserving her art.

Over time these changes accumulated. Her boundaries strengthened. Her confidence settled. Her voice became more true. And today she sat in front of me radiating joy because she had tasted the life she had been building toward.

To hear her say that she felt her power on stage. To hear her recognise her authenticity so clearly. To witness her fully reap the benefits of the inner work she has invested in for so long. It was a profound delight.

I feel honoured to have journeyed beside her through this process of becoming. And to witness the moment she finally met herself.

I'd love to be as brave and talented to go on stage like she does.. But I'll stick to hair-brush power ballad kareoke in the privacy of my kitchen and cheerlead her on instead 😉

The Shift.

I’ve been shifting the way I describe my work.

For years I called myself a counsellor.
That is still part of what I offer, but it’s no longer the whole picture.

My work has grown into something deeper.
It’s counselling woven with mentoring, truth facilitation, nervous system work, voice medicine, and years of lived experience that taught me how to integrate the parts of myself that once felt divided.

I’ve walked through enough initiations, mistakes, heartbreaks and rebuildings to know that real change is an inside job... one that requires honesty, self-responsibility and a steady mirror.

So when you choose to work with me, you’re not just getting reflection.
You’re getting guidance, clarity, and support to reclaim your power in ways that are grounded, embodied and sustainable.

And quietly, behind the scenes, a philosophy is forming... one rooted in integration rather than perfection.
Something I’ll share more about when it’s ready.

For now, here is the simplest truth:
I’m here to help you meet yourself more fully, and build a life that matches the person you actually are.

If this resonates, you already know you’re in the right place.

And my response was "My absolute pleasure! And it's all you.. You are tapping into your energy, your visualisation, your presence 🙏✨"

I'm grateful to hold space for others and trust what arises in the co-creative therapeutic relationship container.

Safe enough for your tears. Bold enough for your fire.

Motherhood changes you. It can be beautiful, disorienting, exhausting, and deeply tender all at once. Many women come to me needing a safe, steady space to process grief, overwhelm, or the loss of identity that can arrive in matrescence.

But that’s not the whole story.
Because you are not only a mother.

You are also a woman with desire, rage, creativity, and a longing for aliveness that doesn’t always fit inside the “good girl” box. I hold space for that too, the messy, sensual, unapologetic parts that want to breathe again.

My work bridges both:

Counselling that is gentle, grounded, and trauma-informed for mothers and women in transition.

Truth-telling and voice work that is raw, creative, and liberating for those ready to explore edges beyond motherhood.

This is where you can bring all of you.
The soft. The wild. The grieving. The hungry.
I welcome it all.

Meaningful feedback from a recent client journey 🙏

'I used to bend myself in half to keep the peace. I didn’t even realise how much I abandoned myself until I had a space where I could finally be honest. Jolie helped me feel seen, grounded, and strong enough to set boundaries. For the first time, I trust my own voice.”

For tailored support sessions do feel welcome to enquire and we can chat about your current scenario and what you want to shift, change or strengthen moving forwards.
