Jill is a UK trained Psychotherapist who has recently relocated back to London after working in Hong Kong for 5 years. As well as her own successful private practice in London (2012-2019) she has experience of working in the NHS in an IAPT service and in a London Hospital in Women’s Health, gynaecological oncology team as a Psychotherapist. Jill is an empathic, warm, and compassionate Psychodynamic Psychotherapist who has been working with clients since 2012 in a variety of clinical settings. She works with clients to explore the underlying aspects of themselves that they may not be aware of, to understand how they see themselves, how they deal with others and see the world.  She helps clients to understand why they keep behaving or thinking in a particular way, or why certain things “keep happening to them” (for example repetitive patterns in relationships). Jill works with clients to understand the influence their past experiences in life can have upon them in the present day as she believes that when a client has awareness of this, they can move towards changing these patterns of behaviour.

Jill has experience working with clients with a range of presenting issues.  Her areas of expertise include working with traumatic events, both cumulative and single events, anxiety, low self-
esteem, stress, lack of confidence, struggling with decision making, grief, relationship issues, life transitions. As well as psychodynamic therapy, Jill integrates EMDR, Eye-Movement Desensitization Processing into her work with clients.

“Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders” (EMDRIA.ORG).

Jill is a native English speaker and can also work with clients who are Deaf and use British Sign
Language.
