PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR ADULTS

At Evergreen Psychotherapy I tailor my approach to your needs, offering support and guidance to help you navigate a new path through difficult times.

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 was feeling very emotional and depressed due to an incident that happened in my life and l wanted help with these feelings. After research l came across EMDR with Evergreen Psychotherapy.
Initially l was sceptical, however l was fed up with being so down and my life was becoming unbearable even getting out of bed was becoming difficult. I contacted Jette, we had a free telephone conversation and l immediately felt at ease. We explored my current situation together with my past which l thought l had dealt with previously however my brain had not, especially my experiences in my childhood.
Working with Jette has been amazing, it has been a very emotional time but a weight has been lifted and l feel l worked through lots of issues, having learnt new ways of dealing with my anxieties.

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.

“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. “
