About Janet

Welcome to Psychology One-to-One. I am an experienced, dedicated and compassionate clinical psychologist and have 25 years of experience working with people who are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, trauma and relationship difficulties.

I worked for many years offering psychological therapy across a variety of settings and I have now been working in private practice since 2018. I have developed a respected and established service where i help people across Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the North East. 

Compassion is at the heart of who I am, how I work and why I do the work I do.

I’ve supported many people through therapy over the years and have helped them to move forward from adversity, trauma and debilitating symptoms. Please get in touch to see how I can help you.

Testimonials

“I was in the thick of what I can only describe as a mental breakdown and couldn’t see any way out, I honestly thought it was the end. You helped me understand why my body and mind was reacting in the way that it was. Since starting our sessions, I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a panic attack or severe anxiety”

“I’ve made so much more progress than in any other therapy”

“Attending weekly sessions when I felt overwhelmed by anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep and negative thoughts has helped me greatly”

“My day-to-day life has improved so much – I now enjoy work, social events and spending time with my family again”

“The service I received was lifesaving”

Many thanks for your help and support. The guidance has been invaluable and the changes I’ve been able to make are huge and exciting. Thank you!

Psychology

Psychotherapists are mental health professionals who are trained to listen to a person’s problems to help to find out what’s causing them and work to find a solution. As well as listening and discussing important issues with you, a psychotherapist can suggest strategies for resolving problems and, if necessary, help you change your attitudes and behaviour.
