Jess Pinheiro - Mental Health Wellbeing Therapist
My approach in sessions...
"There is no denying, life can be overwhelming at times - wether you’re struggling with stress, low mood, not knowing how to manage your own emotions, so much anxiety you feel like you can do the things you need to do, confidence is low and getting in the way of you want to be or just stuck in this loop of unhelpful habits that keep you from going/ being where you need to be.
We can work together towards realistic, meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
In sessions, we will...
Work to understand what's maintaining your difficulties
What are the current coping strategies, and what new coping strategies could be developed
This is a space free from judgment, where you can speak openly about your experiences and begin to view them through a more compassionate lens.
As a Mental Health Professional, I aim to create a warm, open, and supportive environment where you feel safe to be yourself. To work collaboratively, meaning we explore things together with transparency and mutual understanding at the core of our sessions.
My goal is for you to feel supported, respected, and actively involved in your therapeutic journey.
To achieve this, I will use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) based interventions, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) in my work, potentially using other models which might feel appropriate - the aim is to integrate these approaches in a holistic manner and tailor therapy based on your struggles and needs.
My professional background...
I hold a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Health Psychology, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Mental Health and Wellbeing Practice within Specialist Adult Health.
I have experience working within an Early Intervention Team, as well as in a Drug and Alcohol Service. In these roles, I have supported both young adults and adults experiencing a range of mental health difficulties.
Through this work, I have developed a strong interest in supporting people's understanding of their thoughts and behaviour, and supporting them to achieve meaningful change through the use of evidence-based approaches (e.g., CBT, CFT, DBT).
My work is guided by professional ethics, clear boundaries and ongoing supervision. I am committed to providing a safe space where you or your loved ones feel safe, respected, and empowered to face their difficulties.
My values as a professional are:
-
Compassion
-
Collaboration
-
Empowerment
-
Evidence-based practice
-
Respect for individuals experiences
-
Ethical and transparent therapeutic relationships
