About Jodie
Counsellor Jodie Bament is a BACP member with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and helps people cope with life changes.
Jodie draws on client-centred ideas. She focuses on listening and on what matters to the person in front of her. Conversations are used to clarify problems, identify practical next steps and to help people feel more able to make choices.
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns of thought and to develop calmer ways of responding. These practices are offered alongside talking work, rather than as a separate package, so the client decides what to use.
Jodie can cover a wide range of concerns beyond the main areas. These include abandonment, blended family issues, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, emptiness, family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life purpose, money and financial issues, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. People can expect a conversational approach that looks at what is happening now and what might help next. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s online counselling options and complete the brief matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without directing the conversation and helps the client decide which topics to focus on. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to shape the pace and content of sessions themselves.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These help people notice repetitive or anxious thoughts and try different ways of responding. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and coping with change when used alongside talk work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. Decisions are reviewed as conversations progress so the plan can change if something is not helpful.
The biography does not state which exact session formats are used online, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life - for example by saving travel time, enabling a shorter check-in between commitments, or letting someone use a quieter room rather than travel. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while helping people work through the issues described above.
