JACQUELINE GREEN COUNSELLING
ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Jacqueline.
Originally from Wales, and now living on the East coast of Scotland, I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist working with young people and adults.
I offer counselling online and outside in nature.
Counselling with me is a deeply personal experience which focusses on growing and healing from difficult experiences and encouraging transformative change. I usually find myself working with people who are going through or have gone through big life changes and it's rocked their sense of self. Maybe you have learned to cope or just get on with it, and are no longer able to manage the impact this is having on you or your life and are now ready to invest in yourself on a deeper level.
Counselling young people is slightly different because adolescent brains, development, their power and autonomy and experiences in life are somewhat different. However, I still bring my same self to counselling and we often see the same transformative changes happening, in different ways. Please read more under 'services'.
Although I work with all emotional challenges and life experiences, some additional areas of training and knowledge are within; adolescent experiences, childhood experiences, trauma, exploring identity changes after a major life event, grief, suicidal ideation, relational difficulties, family breakdown and blended families and peri/postnatal challenges.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
As well as accredited qualifications with young people and adults, I have 15+ years experience in the mental health field, working in schools, the NHS, the third sector and within private practice. I am also due to complete a counselling supervision qualification later this year, after which, I will be supervising other counsellors.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DO I START THE COUNSELLING PROCESS?
Please email to arrange a free initial conversation to find out more or to answer any questions you may have. Or you are also welcome to just email to book in for your first counselling session without this call.
HOW LONG DOES COUNSELLING TAKE?
That depends on why you are coming. I work both short-term and long-term as I like to adapt to your individual needs. Sometimes a specific problem can be understood and can help you move forward within a few sessions. Generally, more sessions are needed for real healing, growth and transformation. Regular reviews gives us both the opportunity to decide how long we may continue for.
IS COUNSELLING CONFIDENTIAL?
Yes - Confidentiality is an important aspect of counselling as it is important for you to feel that it is a safe place.
As a registered member of the BACP I abide by their ethical guidelines for respecting client confidentiality.
There are at times certain limitations to confidentiality but this will all be discussed in more detail in our initial session.
HOW MUCH DOES COUNSELLING COST AND HOW LONG ARE THE SESSIONS?
All sessions are 50 minutes long and are charged at £55
