Support for Trauma, Grief & Life Transitions – Healing Starts Here
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Counselling JCT.
.Life can feel overwhelming. Trauma, grief, stress, or feeling stuck can leave you drained, disconnected, and unsure where to turn. Here, you don’t have to face it alone. I offer online counselling across the UK — a compassionate, steady partnership to help you feel calmer, safer, and more connected.
In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, empathetic space where your story is heard, your feelings are respected, and your journey matters. Together, we’ll work to rediscover your resilience, find balance in your body and mind, and move from overwhelm toward lasting calm and connection.
I draw on trauma-informed care, including nervous system regulation and gentle somatic practices, helping you manage difficult experiences and feel the relief you deserve.
Whether you’re in Cumbria, Lancashire, Manchester, or anywhere in the UK, therapy is flexible, secure, and tailored to you — so you can focus on your healing from the comfort of home.
Take the first step today — relief, calm, and connection can start with one conversation.
About Me
Hi, I’m Jackie – Your Compassionate Trauma & Grief Therapist
Life can feel messy, overwhelming, and at times, it can seem like you are carrying the weight of the world alone. I understand that, and I am here to help. As a trauma-informed therapist with over 25 years of experience, I aim to create a safe space where you can feel free to share your story and start your healing journey.
I specialise in helping clients heal from trauma, grief and life transitions. I use approaches like Polyvagal Theory, nervous system regulation, and somatic techniques, not just because they are effective, but because they allow us to understand how your body holds stress and how we can guide it back to safety and balance. More than techniques, I bring warmth, authenticity, and a genuine belief in your healing capacity.
Together, we will walk this path at your pace, one compassionate step at a time.
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths."
