Jane Kenington

 Psychotherapist, Art Therapist, Counsellor and Mentor

​​

Hi, I'm Jane Kenington and I am Psychotherapist, Creative Therapist, Artist and Writer. 

Originally from Merseyside now living on the borders of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire, supporting people from all over the country. 

​

​I offer short and long term therapy to adults, young people and children facing a range of difficulties and challenges in life - such as

​

Anxiety, depression, stress & grief

Relationship issues, adverse childhood experiences, abuse, neglect and trauma.

Friendship problems

Loneliness

Low self esteem, feelings of worthlessness

Life limiting conditions​

Issues arising from any of life's transitional times such as moving house, children leaving home, menopause.

In fact - anything you want to bring.

 

I provide a warm, safe & confidential environment for you to gain a better understanding of what is troubling you. I deeply believe in the power of an authentic, non-judgemental relationship where you can be truly seen, heard and accepted.​ ​ This can help you to build confidence and improve your understanding of what's going on for you. All my sessions are person centred  and unique to you - ensuring the best possible outcome.

​

I have been using creativity to aid wellbeing for 20 years. Prior to qualifying as a psychotherapist I worked for ​a number of charities doing creative projects and mental health projects. I have been a practicing psychotherapist for 12 years. I have worked in Adult Psychotherapy and CAMHS within the NHS  Primary care as well as working in schools and colleges, working for a number of charities and setting up my own business. I currently work part time in the NHS with young people, parents, families and other professionals helping them manage a diagnosis of diabetes.

 

Working in these very different sectors has given me a wide understanding of the realities of life. My own life has given me enormous experience - many people want someone who has lived experience - I certainly have that! I have had to look hard and learn to love myself so you know I will do my best for you.

​

Being creative has played a huge part in my whole life - providing comfort and focus since I was a young child. It is a privilege to be able to share that with others either through therapy and counselling; through professional or creative mentoring or running creative workshops. 

​

I can't fix you - because you are not broken! I don't have all the answers but I do know the power of working with someone who wants to be there, who has understanding and compassion and will sit along side you and help you find your answers. I love my work and my life and I want to help you love your life too.
