Jan Hooper

With more than 25 years in counselling and psychotherapeutic practice both as a private practitioner, key worker and group facilitator I bring a passion for helping people to make a sense of their lives. Working with adults I facilitate 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. I support 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. I initially qualified in Psychosynthesis, an intergrated psycho-spiritual body orientated approach to counselling and In Depth Therapy. I am also a certified EMDR Practitioner and an equine facilitated therapist. I see clients with a wide range of mental, emotional and psychological issues , often related to early developmental trauma, attachment issues, those dealing with loss on many levels. Core to my work is the building of relationship in order that together we can develop a mindful, caring approach to explore and understand the patterns and coping strategies that perhaps were once necessary to survival. I am passionate about environmental issues, alongside a deep and meaningful connection to Nature and all creatures we share our planet with.
