Jane Leary MBACP
As your Counsellor & Therapist, I am a guest in the unique experiences of your world.
I sit beside you or walk with you to explore how life is for you. We work at your pace and wherever you wish to go. Sometimes I may point things out to you along the way – things you may have missed – that you may want to take a closer look at. Maybe you will pause to delve deeper into these, or perhaps you’ll make a mental note to come back to it another time.
I will always bring empathy, warmth, and acceptance.
A bit more about me
Through my research and practice as Anthropologist, Teacher, Reiki Master, Eco-Therapist and Counsellor - I have found a way of being that guides people to find their path and become the best of themselves.
I am person-centred, with an integrative approach. I work holistically to bring coherence to the body, mind, and spirit. I value the true worthiness of every individual and honour the self within.

Our therapy sessions can take place in the cosy comfort of a quiet space or the healing power of nature.
There's no right way to talk. Sessions are run as you decide - in a traditional cosy space, or as a walking session, with nature providing a relaxed informal backdrop.
