THERAPY
Jane's special interest is Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). You are welcome to attend in person or via zoom.
Before your first consultation, you are invited to complete a comprehensive set of questionnaires, this allows Jane to understand you and make plans for treatment, it also saves nearly two sessions of time needed for assessment, thus saving clients' cost as Jane studies the results in her own time. Feedbacks from clients indicate that they appreciate getting therapy started before meeting in person and that answering the questions felt reflective and worthwhile.
Jane draws from evidence-based therapy models including: Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS).
Jane tracks her clients' progress closely each session and seek their feedback on the therapeutic relationship, problem resolution and the effectiveness of strategies used. She then makes adjustments to support the clients to achieve the best possible outcome.
