JESSY WOODS

I believe that the past can emerge in our present relationships. For some, the past has been a journey of loss, grief, abandonment, and a lack of choice in differing who we are and how we want to identify ourselves both in gender, culture, and sexuality. I believe that walking alongside you, in whatever life stage you are transitioning through, with empathy and honesty, will enable you to trust yourself and let go of conditional beliefs and find a sense of your own pathway. I will always try to give you a choice, because counselling is about you deciding what’s important for you. 

I aim to provide you with a safe space where you can feel heard and seen by me to find your true self without judgment or fear. My goal is that you will feel valued and understood by being in a therapeutic relationship with me, which is genuine and authentic. You can start to undo the trauma, loss, and loneliness you may be experiencing. I draw upon my personal experience by being empathic and authentic, and I will try to meet the person that you are, no matter how difficult it may feel. I will aim to be there for you every step of the way, on this journey together. I am very warm and gentle in my approach and will always give you the space and time you need to find the meanings you are searching for

I work with a range of issues focusing on gender identity, sexuality, loss, abuse, anxiety, attachment, family, stress, and anything that is holding you back from an actualised and fully autonomous person that you would like to be.  I hope that you can choose a way forward that feels more joyful and real, and free of conditions.
