Welcome to Counselling JCT – Providing Support for Trauma, Anxiety and Life Transitions.
Finding Calm in the Midst of Overwhelm
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Counselling JCT.
Life can sometimes feel like too much. Anxiety, trauma, or sudden life transitions can leave you feeling drained, disconnected, and unsure how to move forward. When your mind won’t switch off and your body feels on edge, it’s easy to believe that things will always be this way.
But here’s the truth: anxiety is not a flaw — it’s a signal. It’s your nervous system asking for care and attention.
At Counselling JCT, you don’t have to face this alone. I offer online counselling across the UK, providing a safe, compassionate partnership that helps you:
- Find relief from anxiety and stress
- Understand patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and body
- Rebuild calm, safety, and connection from the inside out
This isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about rediscovering your resilience and learning to live with balance and confidence, step by gentle step.
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 – Jackie, Your Trauma & Anxiety Counsellor
Hi, I’m Jackie. For over 25 years, I’ve supported people who felt anxious, overwhelmed, or weighed down by trauma and major life changes.
I know how heavy life can feeland how transformative it is to finally feel seen, safe, and understood.
My approach is grounded in:
- Polyvagal-informed therapy – helping you understand why your body reacts the way it does
- Somatic practices & nervous system regulation – gentle tools to soothe anxiety and restore calm
- Person-centred counselling – because no two healing journeys are alike
But most importantly, I bring warmth, authenticity, and a deep belief in your capacity to heal.
As Brené Brown reminds us: we don’t have to do it all alone — we were never meant to.
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."
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
