About Jeannette
Counsellor Jeannette Mason is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' practice in the UK. She works with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems and parenting strain. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Jeannette uses approaches drawn from attachment work, mindfulness, somatic and trauma-focused therapy, and solution-focused methods. She describes her background in nursing and a postgraduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis from an integrative perspective. These inform how she notices patterns in relationships and responses to stress.
In early sessions she aims to identify practical steps that ease day-to-day distress. That can include short mindfulness practices, noticing body-based signals, and trying solution-focused tasks between meetings. She says treatment plans are shaped together, and that it usually takes several sessions to see what helps most.
Jeannette also works with longer-standing issues such as attachment wounds, abandonment feelings, dissociation, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Her practice pays attention to how past experiences affect current relationships and self-esteem. Work can cover communication problems, control issues and complications arising from co-morbid conditions.
The first meeting is described as a chance to talk about what is needed and to check whether the counsellor is a good fit. Sessions can be short or long term depending on the person's goals, and she explains how plans may change as therapy progresses.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice recurring ways of relating and to practise different responses in discussion and between sessions.Mindfulness approaches involve simple attention practices and grounding exercises. These are taught in short, practical steps and can help with anxiety, sleep problems and day-to-day stress when practised between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client decide together which methods to try, based on the client's goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed as therapy progresses and adapted if something does not feel helpful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements at your first meeting to make sessions fit into everyday life.
