A Safe and Gentle Place to Explore What You Are Carrying
Welcome and thank you for visiting Sentra Counselling
Beginning counselling can feel daunting, especially when speaking to someone new. It is natural to feel unsure at first. My role is to help you feel as comfortable, respected and supported as possible from the very beginning.
This is why I offer a free initial consultation. It gives us space to meet, talk through what has been bringing you to counselling and see whether we feel like we are a good fit. If you choose to continue, I am committed to creating a space that feels safe, open and guided by care, compassion and understanding.
About Me
Hello, my name is Jodie and I am an integrative counsellor offering short and long term online counselling for adults. I work with clients across the UK and South Africa, providing sessions via a secure online platform.
My background began in South Africa, where I studied and worked in the mental health field for over eight years. I have experience supporting individuals across mental health organisations, charities, clinics and school settings in both South Africa and the United Kingdom. This work has shaped a deep respect for resilience, diversity and the different ways people experience and navigate emotional challenges.
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology in 2016, followed by two honours degrees in Applied Psychology and an MSc in Clinical Psychology at the University of Reading.
I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the Health Professions Council of South Africa and I work in line with their ethical frameworks to ensure safe, professional and reflective practice.
Integrative approach
My work is guided by an integrative approach, meaning I draw from a range of evidence based modalities to tailor support to each individual. This approach recognises that every person's experiences, challenges, and goals are unique. By integrating different perspectives, counselling becomes a collaborative space where we can deepen understanding, build insight, and support lasting change in a way that feels grounded and compassionate.
Working together
Together, we'll explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with curiosity and compassion, supporting deeper self-understanding, emotional balance, and meaningful personal growth. You are not alone in this journey. Let me help you unpack, explore, and find your centre again.
What You Can Expect From Working With Me
In our work together, sessions are shaped around you. I offer an integrative and flexible approach. This means counselling sessions are adapted to your individual needs rather than following a one size fits all structure.
You can expect a thoughtful and collaborative process where we work at a pace that feels manageable and respectful. I am committed to maintaining high professional standards, engaging in ongoing supervision and continuing professional development to ensure the care I provide remains ethical, informed and supportive.
How We Work Together
My practice draws from a range of approaches, including:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Person-Centred Therapy
Narrative therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Gestalt Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
Solution Focused Brief Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Techniques
This integrative approach allows sessions to be tailored to your unique needs, helping us work collaboratively and at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
Contact MeWhat Issues I Can Help With
People come to counselling for many different reasons. These are some of the areas I work with.
Fees & Process
Online Counselling & Session Format
I offer counselling sessions online for clients across the UK and South Africa, providing flexibility and comfort while ensuring a safe and confidential way to explore your experiences.
Counselling can be short-term (focused on a specific goal or difficulty) or longer-term, allowing for deeper exploration and personal growth, depending on what feels right for you.
Fees & Initial Call
Each session lasts 50 minutes and is charged at £65 for clients in the UK and R700 for clients in South Africa.
I also offer a free 30 minute initial triage call so we can discuss your needs, answer any questions, and decide whether we're a good fit to work together.
A sliding scale is available to make therapy more accessible based on individual circumstances.
Please note that I do not work with health insurance companies.
Starting Counselling
If you feel that counselling with me is the right fit, I will send you a short agreement outlining how we will work together.
This covers confidentiality, fees, payment details and cancellation policies. The agreement is shared via email and completed prior to starting counselling.
We will start with a 60 minute assessment session to understand what brings you to counselling. It is charged at £50 for clients in the UK and R500 for clients in South Africa.
Cancellations and Rescheduling
Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Sessions cancelled with less notice or unattended will be charged in full.
If you do not arrive within 10 minutes of the scheduled time, the session will be considered cancelled unless otherwise agreed in advance.
Likewise, I will always provide notice should I need to reschedule.
Additional Services
Alongside individual counselling, Sentra Counselling offers a range of additional psychological and wellbeing services designed to support individuals, teams and organisations.
Psychometric Assessments
Psychometric assessments are structured psychological tools used to better understand different aspects of an individual’s functioning, strengths, abilities and areas where further support may be helpful.
Depending on the purpose of the assessment, psychometric tools can provide useful insight into areas such as cognitive abilities, interests and personal development.
Please get in touch to discuss available assessments and whether an assessment would be suitable for your needs.
Corporate Wellness
Supporting mental health in the workplace can contribute to healthier teams, better communication and a working environment where people feel more equipped to manage stress and everyday challenges.
Sentra Counselling offers corporate wellness services tailored to the needs of organisations and their employees. Support may include mental health awareness initiatives, workplace wellbeing programmes, psychoeducation and practical wellbeing resources.
Corporate wellness packages can be tailored according to the needs and size of your organisation.
Psychoeducational & Wellbeing Workshops
Sentra Counselling offers interactive workshops designed to make psychological knowledge practical, understandable and relevant to everyday life.
Workshops can be developed for workplaces, community groups and other organisations, with topics tailored to the needs of the group.
The aim is not simply to provide information but to give participants practical tools and strategies that they can understand and use beyond the workshop.
Workshops can be tailored to your organisation, audience and wellbeing goals.
