Jaime Van Weede, NCPS

Jaime Van Weede is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with those affected by trauma, grief and ADHD and aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk things through and start to feel clearer about next steps.

Her approach begins with listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. Jaime uses person-centred methods at the start of her work so people can set the pace and priorities. As therapy progresses she may introduce cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and practical coping strategies.

Jaime has a particular interest in neurodiversity informed by family experience and work with young people. She also supports people dealing with long-term illness, chronic pain, cancer, caregiver stress and ageing concerns. Other focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, communication and commitment concerns, and addiction or domestic violence related distress.

She is NCPS and works from the Dartington Estate in South Devon, United Kingdom. Jaime values reviewing progress together so sessions remain relevant and suited to each person’s needs. Some people choose a short series of meetings, while others prefer longer-term work.

With three years' experience she combines practical tools with compassionate listening. Sessions aim to help people notice what is getting in the way, try out small changes and build more confidence managing difficult feelings.

How Jaime’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace to build understanding and confidence. This approach is helpful for people feeling anxious, lonely, overwhelmed or unsure where to start.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and experimenting with small practical changes. It is often used for stress, anxiety and mood difficulties where clearer thinking and gradual behavioural steps can make a difference.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce rumination and increase calm. It can be useful alongside person-centred listening and CBT techniques to support emotion regulation and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful. Goals, preferences and day-to-day life shape how sessions progress so the work stays relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work during life changes while keeping the focus on practical coping and emotional support.
