About me

Hi, I am Jana, an integrative counsellor. I specialise in identifying patterns that limit you. I offer integrative guidance which helps you find out why you're stuck and how to get out by addressing the patterns (repeated responses) in your nervous system, not just your thoughts. By combining traditional humanistic counselling with nervous system awareness and somatic (body-based) insights, we can work on these from within. Through embodiment, we can formulate alternative strategies that are healthy, sustainable and, most importantly, aligned with you. During our sessions, we'll work collaboratively to help you understand your experience. I'll listen closely with compassion, creating a space where we can explore your challenges, needs and goals. If you are looking for clarity, perspective, and understanding, we might be a good fit! Ready to live an authentic and empowered life? Contact me today to explore how we can make that happen. I look forward to connecting with you!

Approach

Treatment Approaches

ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.

Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.

Transactional analysisRecommended for those who want to understand and improve their interactions with others by exploring the roles they take on in relationships.

*Individual counselling* My approach is goal-orientated yet flexible; I aim to follow your lead. While rooted in person-centred theory, I draw from various powerful therapeutic tools like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Transactional Analysis (TA) to best meet your needs. This means I'll tune into your perspective to help you understand different "parts" of yourself that might feel stuck and give you insight into your relational dynamics. I work with individuals facing diverse emotional and relational issues, including attachment issues, burnout, depression, and more. *Relationship counselling* Every relationship offers an opportunity for growth; however, we can easily become stuck in unhelpful response patterns. To cultivate conscious relationships with healthy boundaries, it’s important to examine the needs and attachments that drive our emotions, thoughts, and actions. I am dedicated to helping couples bridge their understanding of each other and engage in more constructive dialogues. Through mediation, I create a safe space where both parties are heard. My approach aims to foster deeper connections, mutual respect, and lasting relationship satisfaction. The modalities I employ include Emotionally Focused Therapy, Imago Therapy, and Nonviolent Communication. I am registered with the BACP and NIP.
