Jill has been described as an empathic, warm, and compassionate Psychodynamic Psychotherapist who has been working with clients since 2012 both in Hong Kong and the UK. She works with clients to explore the underlying aspects of themselves that they may not be aware of, to understand how they see themselves, how they deal with others and see the world. She helps clients to understand why they keep behaving or thinking in a particular way, or why certain things “keep happening to them” (for example repetitive patterns in relationships). Jill works with clients to understand the influence their past experiences in life can have upon them in the present day as she believes that when a client has awareness of this, they can move towards changing these patterns of behaviour.

Jill has experience of working within the NHS in an IAPT/Talking therapies service working with clients presenting with anxiety and grief. She also has experience of working in a London Hospital in Women’s Health, Psychological Services, Gynaecological Oncology Psychology Service as a Psychotherapist, and working with women who have been diagnosed with cancer.

Jill is able to see clients with a range of presenting issues, for example working with traumatic events, both cumulative and single events, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, lack of confidence, struggling with decision making, grief, bereavement, relationship issues and life transitions. As well as psychodynamic therapy, Jill integrates EMDR, EyeMovement Desensitization Processing into her work with clients.

As a UK-trained relationship/couples therapist, Jill approaches her work with couples with a focus on improving communication between the individuals, helping them to understand what is happening in their relationship. She adopts a non-judgmental approach, inviting individuals to collaboratively reflect on their relationship. She works with couples that want to understand the repetitive patterns in the relationship and works with couples seeking to identify and address conflict-driven patterns, recognizing that they may have different agendas. She supports those wishing to strengthen their relationship as well as couples looking to manage and navigate the end of a relationship.

Jill can also work with clients who are Deaf and use British Sign Language.

Jill works with individuals and couples.  She is an experienced Psychotherapist and EMDR Practitioner, having trained in EMDR in Hong Kong.
