e: info@jillwhite.netWELCOMEI am a UKCP registered* professional Counsellor and Psychotherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I provide a confidential counselling and therapeutic service to both individuals and couples in Reigate and surrounding areas, including Redhill, Godstone, Caterham, Horley and Crawley. I also have a practice in South London providing counselling and psychotherapy in Southfields and Wimbledon.
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychosynthesis Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Diploma in Contextual Couples Counselling from the training centre Re•vision, a member organisation accredited by UKCP and BACP.
Integrative psychosynthesis is a therapeutic approach in which problems can be understood not just as things which have to be overcome, but also as possible symptoms of something much more deeply troubling to the psyche (soul), that may be overlooked. A space is reserved for reflection on your own individuality in a way that is personal and unique to you, and to cooperate with the natural inclination in every person which, over the course of life, leads to a more profound understanding and meaning to whatever it is that concerns you.
An integrative approach enables me to draw on a variety of therapeutic orientations to inform the counselling process, which is to help you become more aware of the influences and patterns in your life and empower you to make decisions or changes wherever necessary.
Relationship is understood as a living thing, that forms between two people. I am experienced in helping couples explore their differences and understand more deeply the dynamics between them as they face the challenges and transitions we all do in keeping relationships alive. It may be that an end to a particular way of relating is indicated, or it may be that the relationship is no longer serving the individuals within it in a productive way.
We also have relationship with ourselves. Sometimes the difficulties and challenges of life are hard to understand. Our usual strategies for coping become inadequate and drain our energy to the point that we feel isolated, anxious, confused or depressed. Counselling is a way to explore our concerns more freely than with family or friends.
My aim is to enable you to speak in confidence about the issues you are experiencing, to listen and understand them from your point of view, and to accept you for who you are.
The Psychosynthesis approach is holistic, which means that I work with the whole person - the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
I am experienced in supporting clients with difficulties such as:
anxiety and stress
depression
bereavement or loss
abuse
relationship difficulties
illness or health problems
sexual issues
mid-life crisis
loss of direction
spiritual issues
self-development
My consulting rooms are in:
Reigate, Surrey - midway between Reigate and Redhill town centres, within walking distance from both Redhill and Reigate stations, and with easy roadside parking.
Southfields, South London - within a short walking distance from Southfields tube station and with easy roadside parking.
The first step is to arrange an initial appointment. This will be an opportunity to meet and discuss your concerns. If you wish to continue then we will discuss session times and the way forward. If you decide not to continue I may know of other resources that would be better suited to your needs.
I can be contacted on the numbers below. All lines of contact are confidential, and both phone lines have voicemail.
