Jean Van Slyke, BACP

Jean Van Slyke is a UK-licensed therapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and grief. She creates a welcoming space where thoughts and emotions can be expressed without judgment, guiding clients through difficult moments and helping them build practical ways to cope and move forward.

Jean draws on a range of clinical approaches, including client-centered therapy, existential therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy, tailoring each session to the needs and goals of the individual. She works with relationship and family concerns, LGBT issues, intimacy and parenting challenges, as well as conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, and sleep or eating difficulties.

In addition to these specialties, Jean offers support for abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, codependency and communication problems, and many other complex life challenges. She practices in English and is available to international clients.

Jean holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates affiliation with a national professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Beginning therapy can take courage, and Jean acknowledges that first step while partnering with clients to create a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship.
