Jan Hooper

With more than 25 years in counselling and psychotherapeutic practice both as a private practitioner, key worker and group facilitator, Jan brings a passion for helping people to make sense of their lives. Working with adults Jan facilitates a healing and reconnecting process with their own self as well as others, sitting alongside them providing a space for introspection and exploration to get back in touch with themselves, readying them to be able to connect and build relationships with others. Jan supports people to discover what is true for them and what needs to happen for them to come to a place of self-acceptance, identifying their core beliefs about self, relationships, people and the wider world. Jan initially qualified in Psychosynthesis, an integrated psycho-spiritual body orientated approach to counselling and in-depth therapy. Jan is also a certified EMDR Practitioner and an equine facilitated therapist. Jan’s clients include those with a wide range of mental, emotional and psychological issues, often related to early developmental trauma, attachment issues, and those dealing with loss on many levels. Core to her work is exploring and understanding the patterns and coping strategies that perhaps were once necessary for survival. Jan is passionate about environmental issues, alongside a deep and meaningful connection to Nature and all creatures with whom we share our planet.
