Hi, I'm Jaymain

I am a Person-Centred counsellor, which means that my approach and sessions are shaped to suit each client's unique needs.

The idea of counselling can be daunting, as can finding a therapist, so I offer a free 20 - 30 minute session to see if my approach meets your needs.

I work with children, young people and adults, and I offer sessions online, via telephone and in-person, including walk & talk. Clients can choose from having short term, long term, or single session therapy.

Some of the issues clients talk about include bereavement & loss, anxiety, depression, stress, identity, relationships, and historic abuse

Jaymain Parkes (MBACP)

My life experience and personal therapy journey played a huge part in my decision to become a counsellor.

From a young age and into adulthood, life sent some pretty challenging issues my way, but at the time, counselling was not something I would have considered as I held such a negative view of therapy, and therapists.

I imagined being judged, misunderstood, and part of me felt that getting help was a sign of weakness. I also thought that my problems were so big that talking wouldn't make a difference. Clearly something changed my mind.

As you take this step from whatever situation or stage of life you are in, I want to say that there are no guarantees, but I believe that if this was possible for me, it is possible for my clients.

Client Experience

'It was a real struggle for me to get started with counselling sessions, but Jaymain help me to think about why that was. The sessions changed my life and I feel like myself for the first time.'

'I didn't think I could cope when I got my diagnosis and felt like my life was over. There didn't seem much point in having counselling, but the care & support that I felt from talking to Jaymain gave me hope for every day ahead.'

'Jaymain was really welcoming and made me feel at ease when I started my sessions. I was really nervous and didn't know what to expect.'
