Jan Boden, Ma Counselling & Dip Cbt, Cert Supervision & Life Coaching

Specialising in Anxiety, Stress, Empowerment, Self Development & Positivity

Welcome to my page, my name is Jan and I provide private counselling coaching and supervision. I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and work in CBT, Person Centred and Psychodynamic. It was my very difficult and abusive childhood, extremely painful experiences of bereavements and challenges in life that led me to pursue my counselling career. Throughout my early adult years I underwent lots of personal counselling to help me move forward from a very painful, confusing and difficult place. Counselling allowed me to find myself, empowered me and gave me the tools I needed, to face life again and look positively to the future. I have learnt to live around my losses, not deal with them or get over them, that is impossible, but to move forward and learn to live around them, and find a new normal. Grief can be a very lonely and isolating place, we all grieve very differently and at different stages. Being able to share that grief can allows us to work through it.

I work within the Ethical Framework and Guidelines of the BACP (British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy, offering a safe, empathic, non judgemental confidential environment in which to explore and unravel confusing thoughts and feelings. Specialist areas of work include negative thoughts, personal development, low self esteem /self worth, bereavement, suicide, depression, abuse, stress, anxiety, eating issues, confidence, assertiveness work and relationship issues.

Along with my private practice I as contract to health providers and local industry providing 1-1 counselling and coaching to staff. I previously worked as a counsellor within a G. P. Surgery and in Secondary Schools.

The main aim of my work is to see people grow and reach their full potential.
