Jackie Golding Therapy

Welcome. If you’re reading this then I imagine something in your life feels too hard to face alone. Maybe a difficult relationship? A stressful work life? Some painful family dynamics? Or perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed by past events and patterns that seem to keep repeating themselves?

Whatever you’re struggling with, therapy is a place to be fully heard and supported; where your inner world can be expressed without fear or shame. A safe space where you can make sense of what you feel including the emotions you have learned to suppress and the things you are carrying alone. Navigating your way through a difficult time on your own can feel daunting, but I can help you overcome your challenges with kindness at a pace that feels comfortable for you. With empathy and grounded presence, together we can explore what has happened, sift through the residual thoughts & feelings and then find a way forward that works for you. I work from a place of acceptance and understanding to help you build a happier life experience through increased inner awareness and self-empowerment.

Primarily I work in the here and now, looking at your thoughts and feelings as well as retrospectively to consider where patterns may have originated, such as in childhood and family dynamics. Every client is an individual with a unique history and I have found that a flexible approach serves our needs best. Having trained in various modalities I draw on a range of skills to offer the most beneficial support. Paramount to all of this is that you are fully accepted as you are with kindness and empathy.

After you reach out, we will arrange a convenient time to have an initial chat either on the phone or a video call. Our first session is an opportunity for us to ask questions and look at your goals for our work. It’s a chance to get a feel for whether we would be a good match. If we decide to proceed, we would normally have a further 6 sessions and then review how our work is going.

I believe in the client-therapist relationship as the primary container for change and as with any relationship, this takes a little time and trust to build. Beginning therapy is the first step towards the change you are seeking. Let’s start now... I look forward to working with you.
