Hello, I'm Jayne
I’m a Holistic Therapist who is passionate in helping people to wake up to their full potential by looking inward and understanding themselves better.
I combine my lived experience with training in Counselling, Psychotherapy and Coaching to guide you on your own journey, by empowering you with your own set of tools.
As an overweight child and teenager, I entered early adulthood with low self-esteem and poor body image. A period of significant weight loss, followed by a few lovely compliments and this was the start of a chronic eating disorder which was to consume my life for well over a decade.
The journey of recovery was painful and insightful. Eating disorders are complex. Addiction is complex.
Alongside personal therapy, I’ve been educating myself for 30+ years in psychology, eating disorders, addictions, anxiety — this was my hobby. I made the decision when I left corporate land in 2020 to train as an Eating Disorder Practitioner (NCFED), Integrative Psychotherapist (NCIP), Life Coach (CMA) and Holistic Counsellor (CMA). I’ve dedicated the last few years to more studying, learning and continued healing.
My hope is that I can work with you, helping you to heal and live a happier, easier, more authentic life. I offer one-to-one Psychotherapy, Counselling and Coaching sessions either online or in-person at my studio in South Belfast.
