PRIORITISING YOUR WELL-BEING TO
CULTIVATE POSITIVE LIFESTYLE CHANGES 

A little about me

Hello, I’m Terry Jackson. I am Black British of African heritage.

Growing up, I often heard the phrase, “Never wash your dirty linen in public.” Mental health, trauma and emotional difficulties were rarely discussed and were sometimes viewed as signs of weakness. People were generally expected to carry on, regardless of what they were experiencing.

​

My own experience of therapy changed that belief. Having space to speak openly without judgement was one of the most liberating experiences of my life. It helped me become more self-aware, accept myself and better understand how my experiences influenced my relationships with others.

That experience inspired my journey into counselling. I want to help challenge the stigma that can prevent people from seeking support, particularly within communities where therapy has not always felt familiar, accessible or inclusive.

​

My approach

I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and begin to find your voice.

I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is not to tell you who to be or what decisions to make, but to support you in exploring your experiences, recognising your strengths and understanding what may be holding you back. I know that speaking to a counsellor can feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable. I aim to meet you with empathy, patience and respect, without assumptions about your identity or experiences.

​

I welcome people of every background, culture, identity, faith and life experience. There is no shame in asking for support, and you do not have to face everything alone.
