My name is Jacqui Hames and I am a qualified Counsellor and psychotherapist providing short and long-term therapy to individuals, both in person and online, anywhere in the UK.

After varied careers in the public service, business consultancy, broadcast media and training, I decided to pursue a long burning desire to use my life experiences to support those in emotional distress find a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

People seek counselling for many varied reasons - anxiety and depression being the most common. Some want to improve their emotional well-being, change behaviours, explore personal relationship difficulties, adjust their work/life balance, or manage damaging personality traits like anger or excessive emotional reactions.

My role is to offer an empathetic, understanding environment with you at the centre, to understand your feelings and emotions, help build your resources and guide you to greater sense of wellbeing.

As an integrative therapist I draw upon several therapeutic models – Person Centred, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis – which allows me to adapt to meet the individual needs of my clients.
