Janelle has over 30 years’ experience working with individuals, couples and families. In her sessions she offers practical strategies and deeper exploration of your feelings and experiences. She has a particular interest in exploring the emotions and beliefs that we hold which can get us stuck in problematic and repetitive patterns of relating. By becoming aware of these patterns and understanding them, we can step out of conflict and rebuild connection and intimacy.
Her approach moves away from blame and criticism, instead focusing on compassion, acceptance and how to repair connections and relationships. She listens empathically and holds you gently and patiently throughout this process. She is compassion focused and relational in her approach. She will be interested in your family of origin and early attachment experiences as they impact you in your current life. She is also solution focused and will offer experiential strategies such as emotional regulation and mindfulness during your session.
