Connect | Trust | Grow
Hello & Welcome!
My name is Jacqui Edmiston (AdvDipHIC) and I am a UK trained therapist based in central Bath. I practice a style of therapy called Humanistic and Integrative Counselling, combining an empathetic approach with an underpinning of different therapeutic techniques to support your personal growth.
It is an approach that can help you explore your feelings and overcome challenges in a way that feels right for you.

Counselling can provide the support you need.
What Is Counselling
Counselling is a safe and confidential ‘space’ within which you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, without judgment.
It’s a collaborative journey that helps you understand yourself better, cope with challenges, and work towards a more fulfilling life.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or just need someone to talk to, counselling can provide the support you need.
Why Choose Counselling
It’s normal to feel overwhelmed by life at times; seeking help is a brave and important step. Counselling – sometimes referred to as ‘talking therapy’ – can offer:
- A Confidential Space: A place where you can speak openly, knowing that your privacy is respected.
- Professional Support: Guidance from someone who understands and can help you navigate life’s challenges.
- Personal Growth: An opportunity to learn more about yourself and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth & healing.
My Approach: Humanistic & Integrative Counselling
I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and healing.
My approach combines different therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs, focusing on:
Empathy and Understanding:
Creating a warm, non-judgmental environment where I hope you can feel truly heard.
Holistic Perspective:
Considering all aspects of your life – emotional, physical, and relational – to understand your experiences fully.
Personal Empowerment:
Encouraging you to tap into your inner strengths and resources.
What To Expect
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.
Here’s what you can expect:
A Warm Welcome:
Your comfort is my priority; I aim to create a sense of care and safety from the outset, which I hope will put you at your ease.
Understanding Your Needs:
We’ll spend time getting to know each other. I’ll listen to what brings you to counselling and what you hope to achieve.
Setting the Pace:
There’s no rush. We’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you, ensuring you feel safe and supported throughout. Whether you prefer short-term counselling to address a specific issue or an open-ended approach for deeper exploration, it’s entirely up to you.

Ready to Begin Your Journey?
Taking the first step can be the hardest, but also the most rewarding. If you’re ready to explore how counselling can help you, please get in touch. In the first instance, I will usually suggest a free 15 minute phone conversation, during which I can learn more about what you are looking for help with and you can make sure I am the right person to help you.
I’m here to walk alongside you on this path to self-discovery and healing.
Fees
Therapy can be out of reach for many as the costs can be high; I want to help as many people as I can and my fees reflect this. Please contact me to find out more.
