Philosophy and style of working:

Many of us experience times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed or life becomes difficult and talking with someone can help us to understand ourselves better and find a way through.

Jean Machon offers a warm, empathic, safe space for you to explore the thoughts and feelings that bring you to counselling at this time. She works relationally, believing that the therapeutic relationship can be hugely supportive in exploring past hurts and repeated patterns of behaviour that may hold you back from engaging with life in a more fulfilling way. As a humanistic psychotherapist, Jean believes in our innate capacity for growth and change yet sometimes life events and painful emotions can block our self-belief and ability to heal.

Jean’s training incorporates three core modalities: Gestalt, Person-Centred and Transactional Analysis. This integrative style ensures you work together in a way that is both individual and supportive to your needs.

Following an initial consultation, Jean offers 50-minute weekly sessions either face to face, online or by telephone. Her previous experience is of both short term or open-ended counselling and includes Anxiety, Depression, bereavement and loss, relationship issues, trauma recovery, adjustment to change.
