Business Details
Your Trusted Counsellor in Cheltenham
I am Janine McCafferty, an accredited counsellor with eight years of experience dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenges. My journey into counselling was inspired by personal experience of its transformative power, alongside a corporate career in London and overseas that highlighted the impact of workplace stress and relocation on well-being. Holding a Foundation Degree in Therapeutic Counselling with a Distinction, I am currently completing a UKCP-accredited Psychotherapy postgraduate course and have certifications in Bereavement Counselling and Solution-Focused Therapy. As an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to rigorous ethical standards, engage in regular supervision, and commit to ongoing professional development.My practice spans face-to-face sessions in Cheltenham, as well as online and telephone support, offering flexibility to clients. I specialise in addressing stress, anxiety, bereavement, relationship issues, depression, and existential uncertainty, using an integrative approach combining person-centred, psychodynamic, and solution-focused models. Clients benefit from a collaborative, non-judgmental space where their perspectives are prioritised, fostering new insights and improved self-confidence. My commitment to accessibility is reflected in the free initial chat I offer to help clients determine if counselling is the right support for their needs.
