Jaen is currently studying Integrative Sex Coaching and will happily facilitate conversations surrounding sex and intimacy, mis-matched libidos and uncovering erotic desires.
Initially, Jaen will see you as a couple, then following this she will request 1-2 individual sessions before recommencing couples work
Individual Counselling
One-on-one sessions focused on your personal growth and emotional wellbeing. This is best suited for individuals wanting strategies to improve their mental health or to work with a specific issue.
Jaen is a warm and trauma informed practitioner who uses a range of approaches, including CBT, DBT and Somatic Therapy.
Whilst your trauma story is welcome in the counselling space, Jaen is not a trauma specialist and She may refer you to a psychologist or other specialised service if she feels there is somewhere better suited to your care. If you are unsure, book a free discovery call to talk it through.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is the exploration between the emotional event and embodied experience. Our bodies store memories, wants, unspoken needs, pain, loss and joy. Somatic enquiry gently explores the map your body has made of your experiences and invites embodied awareness into those experiences.
Somatic therapy can help you increase your own emotional awareness by listening to your bodies deep wisdom, invites movement and sound into memories and can also help release stuck emotions within the body.
Somatic therapy is not just a therapeutic modality, it’s a way of life. By inviting somatic awareness into your life, you are likely to be able to deepen your emotional capacity, release stuck or stored emotions and develop new strategies to cope with emotions as they arise.
Jaen will use Somatic therapy in both couples and individual work by inviting somatic enquiry, giving practical tips on how to use somatic techniques to help with emotions and guide couples on how to somatically co-regulate.
This work is both embodied and movement-based, and may include access to pre-recorded practices to do outside of session.
Grief and Loss Counselling
A kind and supportive ear, Jaen will calmly sit with you through your darkest times. Grief is a universal experience, yet each person going through it will feel it differently.
Whether it be grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship that didn't work out or even the loss of a beloved pet or home, Jaen believes your feelings are valid.
Chronic Pain Counselling
As someone who lives with chronic pain herself, Jaen understands the life changing impact that chronic illness can have on a person. Here, your pain and grief is valid.
Jaen has a special interest in helping Women and vulva owners who live with chronic pelvic pain and health conditions reclaim pleasure and intimacy.
