Hi, as you can probably tell, my name is Jacob, and I am a Counsellor located in the countryside of Somerset. I am supportive and non-judgmental, making my clients feel heard, understood, and seen. I started my counselling training years ago because I felt something was missing from life; I wanted to help people using my natural talents, and I was fortunate enough to pursue this rewarding and amazing career.
I believe in therapy and the sheer difference it can make in one's life. I know it's hard to start, but if you find the right person, it can be one of the most beneficial experiences you can have (I speak from experience too). Therapy works because of human connection; you can find CBT worksheets and self-help online, but we need to look someone in the eye and say what hurts.
I believe in the worth and potential of everyone, and I am always in awe of how unique each person is. I love my work and working with people. I am extremely passionate and work hard to keep our sessions beneficial and engaging. We laugh or cry, sometimes both in our sessions. My clients report relief from what troubles them within a few weeks and actionable progress shortly after.
I love staying up to date with new research and methods, finding statistics that help put things into perspective. Equally, I love things that can't be explained and seem almost mystical and psychic.
With permission; Here are a couple of testimonials from clients who have found our sessions valuable.
"Jacob has a way of making you feel completely understood and supported. My life has truly changed for the better."
"Working with Jacob has been one of the best decisions I've made. His approach is both compassionate and effective."
If you are at all intrigued and want to find out if we can work together, please get in touch, I look forward to hearing from you.
