Counselling Available in Ferndown & Online

Trauma-informed counselling is available with Jacqui in Ferndown, as well as online across the UK and internationally. Jacqui offers relational, trauma-informed therapy for adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in long-standing patterns. This may include support for trauma, grief, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and significant life changes, as well as PTSD, complex trauma (C-PTSD), and pre-trial counselling.

Sessions are grounded, compassionate, and attentive to shame and safety. Therapy is not about fixing you. It is about creating enough safety for your nervous system to begin to settle, so that experiences can be processed at a pace that feels manageable for you.

How Counselling Can Help

People come to counselling for many different reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others. Sometimes there is simply a feeling that something is not quite right, even if it is difficult to put into words.

Trauma-informed therapy can support you to:

• Develop a clearer understanding of your emotional and physical responses
• Reduce overwhelm and support nervous system regulation
• Work gently with trauma, shame, and long-held patterns
• Explore experiences at a pace that feels safe and contained
• Reconnect with a sense of steadiness, choice, and agency
• Feel less alone in what you are carrying

Getting Started

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you have been managing things on your own for some time. 

You are welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation to explore whether working with Jacqui feels like the right support for you. This is an opportunity to ask questions, talk through what you might need, and consider whether therapy feels like a good fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if counselling is right for me?

People come to counselling for many reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected.

You do not need to have a clear understanding of what is “wrong” to begin therapy. An initial conversation can help you explore whether counselling feels like the right support for you at this time.

Do I need to know what type of therapy I am looking for?

No. You do not need to decide on a particular type of therapy before getting in touch. The work is trauma-informed and relational, meaning it is shaped around you rather than a fixed method. Together, you and Jacqui can explore what feels most supportive for your needs, pace, and circumstances.

What happens in the first session?

The first session is an opportunity to begin getting to know Jacqui and to explore what has brought you to counselling. You can go at your own pace and share only what feels comfortable. There is no pressure to talk about anything before you are ready.

Jacqui will gently guide the session, offering a calm and supportive presence while helping you begin to make sense of your experiences and what you might need from therapy. The focus is on creating a sense of safety, building understanding, and considering how therapy can support you moving forward.
