THE BEST

Rated 5 out of 5
14th November 2024

I cannot thank Jane enough. I opted for her animal assisted therapy to deal with some deep rooted issues that have been plaguing me and causing anxiety/depression for years. Jane used the incredible Rewind therapy on me and changed my life. I’ve gone from a ball of anxiety and depression spiralling out of control into someone who feels like they are empowered to take on the world. Rewind therapy is incredible, but more importantly Jane is the safest pair of hands to lead you through it all. Special mention to NeeNee the cat who was the cutest lil support (she even nudged my hand for cuddles during crucial points when I needed her most – she must have sensed it!). Thank you Jane, you’re the best xxx

Jane has been my supervisor for several years while I’ve been building my private practice. Jane is always very supportive. She has considerable knowledge and many ideas about how to build a practice and work with clients. It’s been a pleasure to work with her.

Therapy and cats - a life-changing combination!

Rated 5 out of 5
14th November 2023

I recently had ten sessions of counselling/therapy with Jane – and her wonderful therapy cats Neisha and Molly – for burnout, anxiety and depression, and can honestly say that it was so worthwhile. I was encouraged to face issues which were causing mental health difficulties for me in a safe and empathic environment, finding clarity via rewind and open chair therapy. What worked for me was using practical worksheets and techniques, plus learning lots of coping mechanisms for moving forward. The difference I felt between my first and last session was incredible. I have no idea how Jane did it, as how she works is so subtle that I didn’t realise how hard I was working until afterwards, but that just proves what a brilliant therapist she is. Thank you so much, Jane!

I came to Jane 2 months ago, suffering a relapse with general & health anxiety. I was exhausted and my self esteem was very low. Using counselling and rewind has helped me to turn it all around. Jane has also given me a wealth of information on coping mechanisms which has helped me enormously. And for extra support, I had the lovely Nisha (cat) on my lap for every session!

Traumatic bereavement & grief - Highly recommend Jane!

Rated 5 out of 5
1st March 2023

So thankful I found Jane! After suffering some sudden bereavement complicated with further ongoing close family health concerns I realised I was struggling and just not coping at all. Jane has really helped me to turn that corner and has helped with my bereavement, coping mechanisms for moving forward in terms of that loss and rewind therapy helped so much in terms of particular flashbacks I was having. Jane has been professional from the first point of contact and above all empathetic, friendly, non judgemental, a great listener and just amazing support to have! 2 months counselling has got me to a very different place mentally and I now feel I can cope with the loss I have had and look at things in a more positive and constructive way. Jane has helped me to not feel sad every day anymore, which before the counselling I was! The addition of the therapy cats for me was superb as I’m a cat lover and they just helped to relax me in the sessions. I highly recommend Jane to anyone thinking about possible counselling, Thankyou Jane for enabling me to make the steps to get back to ‘me’ and to be looking forward with positivity now xx

After being slightly apprehensive towards the idea of counselling in the initial stages, I am so pleased and eternally grateful for receiving such brilliant care and advice from Jane. She is very understanding and helped me overcome some issues that were contributing to PTSD. Her therapy room is very calming, and the animals – well they are little therapists themselves! My self esteem and confidence has gradually returned and I feel back to my true self again after just a couple of months of treatment. Thankyou Jane, Nee Nee and Dotty! Xx

Review of Counselling by Jane & Animal Assisted Therapy Services

Rated 5 out of 5
22nd March 2022

After several months of experiencing the counselling support of Jane, I now feel I’m in a position to offer my thoughts on this matter.

I came to counselling as a result of my daughter’s advice. I was not very well at the time and had personal reservations about this decision.

However, it has been an extremely important development for me.

I appreciated several factors about the process. Jane was an extremely good listener and continually raised significantly important questions. She helped me to move my thinking to a much more positive process, from a situation in which I had lost confidence in my own abilities, I have now been able to experience a much more positive engagement with these memories and abilities.

Having counselling has been a really positive development for me and I have no doubt about the significance of the changes I have experienced and the role that Jane’s skills and consistent reliability have contributed to this change.

Also, a factor that I never anticipated was the presence of the two Siamese/Tonkinese therapy cats in each session. They clearly added to the therapeutic nature of the engagement, in which they helped me to relax.

I am now going to carry on with the counselling sessions because of the clear benefits for me.

Highly recommend Jane for Counselling, AAT and Rewind Trauma Therapy.

Counselling, Animal-Assisted therapy, and Rewind Therapy (July to September 2020)

I have been seeing Jane for several months and have found a very positive change in my mental health. I have learnt social skills and how to manage difficult situations, and having therapy cats present makes the experience even more welcoming. I highly recommend rewind trauma therapy, as it drastically changes how you view your trauma in a short timespan and alleviates any discomfort whilst providing long term results. I can’t recommend Jane enough!

I cannot recommend it enough!

After a few months working with Jane on not only my trauma, but also my self esteem, i’ve really come a long way in life. i’ve been able to branch out of town and get a job elsewhere and have set boundaries for myself which i wouldn’t have been able to do previously, all because of the rewind therapy i was going through. it’s really effective and i cannot recommend it enough!
