About Janine

My Background

Prior to working as a therapist, I worked as an IT consultant for large corporate businesses, both in London and overseas. It was during this time that I sought therapy for the first time, initially to help with stress and anxiety, followed by a search for meaning and purpose in my life.

After experiencing the transformational power of counselling for myself, I decided to train to become a counsellor. More recently my decision to train as a Core Process Psychotherapist was brought about by a desire to explore our human nature, and the many ways in which we suffer, and also find capacity for joy and transformation. My experience both personally and professionally has shown me that in the depths of our hurt and suffering, we find the riches and potential for healing.

Qualifications And Experience

I am a 4th year (final clinical year) postgraduate student of Core Process Psychotherapy with the Karuna Institute . I also hold a Foundation Degree in Therapeutic Counselling from the University of Gloucestershire, and certificates in Bereavement counselling, and Solution Focused Therapy.

I am a trainee member with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have worked as a counsellor since 2016. I also work as the nominated counsellor for a local business, where I provide support to employees through their Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
