JEAN SLESSOR COUNSELLING
Hello and a very warm welcome
Hello and a very warm welcome
Coming for Therapy is a courageous step and it is important that you have the right Therapist for you. Sometimes dealing with difficult situations and emotions can be overwhelming, you may notice that you are repeating the same patterns or resorting to unhelpful ways of coping. You may have struggled for some time and may see counselling as a last resort.
Counselling is a collaboration where we can work together to make sense of what is happening in your life. I do not tell you what to do but support you in a variety of ways in order for you to find your own answers.
I believe that we are all unique and ultimately know what is best for us; given the right support, we can grow into our happiest, best selves, or at least find some healing and peace, even in very difficult times.

Clinical Supervision
I offer clinical supervision to anyone in a helping profession and this includes Counsellors in training in both individual and group settings. I believe my supervision style is informative, reflective and non-judgemental. I draw on my knowledge and experience to support you in your clinical work, ethical dilemmas, working to explore your process and emerging patterns within your work.
Should you wish to explore a certain issue, I may offer a creative element to supervision ( this is of course optional ) which is often helpful in looking a differing perspectives and can help when issues become difficult or stuck. I can offer similar aspects to this in a group supervision setting.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Jean is such a gifted person, she helped me unlock the decades of old trauma that was holding me back. The sessions were at my pace and I felt safe. Jeans warmth and empathy made me feel at ease, allowing me to work through some of the most difficult chapters in my life.
I am now living my life with positivity, to be the best version of me I can be, I am more resilient to the day to day challenges that life brings. I would highly recommend Jean
“I started working with Jean following a serious domestic violence relationship. When we met I was a shell of myself and barely functioning. I was suffering with severe anxiety, PTSD and emotional detachment. The DV had decimated my self belief, my resilience and I no longer felt safe in the world or within my own mind. Jean’s skills, knowledge and experience coupled with her incredibly compassionate nature gave me a place where I could take a breath, not feel judged and where I felt understood. Over time with theraputic guidance Jean gave me the emotional tools I needed to rebuild my self belief, my internal safety mechanisms and regain control of my life. My time with Jean was transformative, she took me beyond the trauma and enabled me to reconnect with myself, the people around me and ultimately feel safe again. Even though I have now moved passed the initial trauma there are times when life throws you a curve ball. Jean continues to be my safety net and is still there when I need her and is the first person I would recommend.”
