Jeannette Mason, BACP

Jeannette Mason offers a warm, practical counselling style grounded in relational and somatic ideas. She is presented as a BACP counsellor who helps people make sense of anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Jeannette invites a gentle first step for anyone feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief or life changes.

Her approach draws on attachment-based thinking and mind-body methods alongside solution-focused tools. Sessions aim to pinpoint patterns that keep problems going and to try small, manageable changes. She often uses mindful awareness and body-based noticing to reduce tension and build calmer responses.

Jeannette has four years of clinical experience and a background in general nursing. That combination informs how she listens to the links between physical health and emotional distress, including when chronic illness or pain is part of the story. She also works with people concerned about ADHD and related attention differences.

People can bring issues such as low self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, career stress, or the fallout from trauma and abuse. She is also experienced in areas like attachment difficulties, codependency, eating and body image concerns, and caring-related stress.

The first session is a chance to meet and agree goals together. Jeannette describes her style as empathetic and non-judgemental, and she tailors the plan to each person so therapy feels useful and achievable.

Attachment and body-based approaches in online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice relationship habits, reorganise unhelpful responses and build steadier ways of relating. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and ease anxiety; it supports sleep, stress and mood by helping people notice thoughts and bodily signals without acting on them. Somatic therapy brings gentle attention to bodily sensations and movement to relieve tension and process difficult experiences.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels comfortable. Together they try methods and adapt them if something is not helping, so the plan fits the individual rather than starting with a fixed programme.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please check the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow for quieter check-ins during a lunch break or when camera use is not wanted. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online work to suit concentration levels, physical health concerns and the practicalities of everyday life.
