Jill Goodhew - Psychotherapist

About me

I run my private practice from consulting rooms in Ashley Cross. My theoretical approach to psychotherapy is integrative underpinned by the Clarkson Relationship model which places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. I have regular supervision with a qualified and experienced supervisor and am in regular ongoing personal therapy. I hold professional and personal liability insurance.

I have been working as a therapist since 1997 when I qualified with a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I have since attended further training at the Institute of Psychosynthesis in London, Professor Petruska Clarkson’s Physis Institute in Harley Street, London and Southampton University where I attained a First Class BA (Hons) in Counselling. I became accredited with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists in May 2004 and abide by the BACP Ethical framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I work with adults, both one-to-one and couples and adolescents. Some clients refer themselves, others are referred by doctors, employers or personal recommendation.

I keep abreast of new developments and research about therapy and the world in general by engaging in continual professional development of my own practice in a variety of ways:

By attending courses and workshops throughout the year
By reading journals and topical books
By watching popular and independent films both in English and foreign languages
By participating in media interviews and discussions on contemporary issues
