Ms Jayne Ritchie

Registered Counselor

“I’m a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor with over 20 years of experience. I am an EMDR accredited practitioner.”

About Me

With over 20 years of experience, I offer a grounded, supportive space. Here, you can gently explore life's challenges. I help individuals navigate difficult experiences. Using approaches like EMDR, we can process past events, building inner strength and resilience. Clients often find my calm, experienced presence helps them feel truly heard and ready for lasting change. We can work together to find clarity and a way forward.

Approach

With a steady, experienced rhythm, sessions move at a pace you can lead while I help shape focus and hold safety — often switching between grounded talking, body-anchoring steps and short practice between meetings. I offer face-to-face work in Kingston upon Thames and Surrey, plus secure online sessions, so practical life demands can be matched with therapeutic consistency. We plan small, achievable steps and review what helps, adjusting as trauma memories, grief or stress unpack. Many clients find this measured, collaborative way brings steady relief and clearer choices.
