WHERE TO START

 

When we meet, we will first establish that there is a good connection between us.  This is necessary for any therapeutic progress and for change to take place.

 

During our initial sessions, I will undertake a detailed psychotherapeutic assessment and will offer my professional opinion on which therapy will be the most beneficial for your needs and expectations.

Please email or call me to arrange a confidential conversation without obligation.

my approach

 

At Evergreen Psychotherapy, I combine a psychodynamic/integrative model with Attachment Informed EMDR Therapy. I focus on you as a whole person including your body, your emotions, your thoughts, and your behaviours, in an explorative way.

 

I also consider the whole of you in relation to the other significant people in your life such as partners, family members, friends and associates in school or work. We try and understand what has happened to you and the impact this has in your life now.

Our past is incredibly significant as it can often give us clues as to why we might find things difficult in the present and my approach is to ‘look at the past – but not stare’.

I use art and play therapy in my work with children and adolescents, but sometimes it can be helpful with adults, too.

We will review our therapeutic progress at suitable intervals.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

  • I cannot thank Jette enough for the support and guidance she's provided me over the past few years. From the first session, I felt genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. I was able to openly share my struggle in a safe, non-judgmental space and through our work together, I’ve gained clarity, confidence, and healthier coping strategies. Jette's empathy, insight, and professionalism have made a lasting impact on my mental well-being. I’m pleased and grateful for the positive changes I’ve experienced and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate and effective mental health support.

    Graham, Male, 70 years

  • I was looking for an EMDR therapist online to address my childhood traumas, which had deeply affected my self-esteem and anxiety. That’s how I came across Jette. Over the course of more than a year, our weekly appointments became a vital part of my healing journey.

    From the very first session, I felt a strong sense of security with Jette. Her empathy, genuine nature, and warmth made it easy for me to trust her. She not only listened and truly understood my struggles but was also flexible and creative in guiding me through some of the most challenging situations. Jette has equipped me with a range of practical techniques and tools that help me confront and overcome difficult moments.

    I cannot express enough gratitude for Jette's thoughtful and reflective approach. Her support has been transformative, and I feel empowered to navigate my life in ways I never thought was possible.

    Andrea, Female, 50+

  • I wanted to find out why I had always had such a strongly negative reaction to my sister. I needed to improve my relationship with her. I chose to approach this through EMDR.

    Jette was sympathetic and intuitive, but also practical. She helped me explore some difficult childhood memories and how they were being triggered. I felt well supported in doing this. Then we used body tapping (rather than eye movement) to re-enforce positive feelings. Jette gave me other strategies and resources to use whenever I felt panicky or threatened. Our sessions were on-line, which worked very well.

    My relationship with my sister has improved enormously. It was a profound relief, to have understood where the difficulty sprang from, and to have been given the tools to deal with it. I now feel able to continue to work on my own at re-setting my nervous system and installing positive reactions; my whole self-esteem has benefitted. I highly recommend Jette for friendly, focussed, effective therapy.

    Female, 69

  • I have suffered with difficulties since childhood but found Lockdown and a recent traumatic bereavement hard to deal with. Jette was very calm, attentive and understanding, and I found her presence enabled me to talk about some painful memories. Jette also taught me different ways to help me mange my feelings and set my own important boundaries, particularly with certain people in my life. I cannot thank her enough for giving me my life back and would highly recommend therapy with Jette to anyone.

    Emma, 32
