Jacky Adams Counselling, Psychotherapy and CBT in Lewes

"Jacky provided counselling for our teenage son, who was suffering from anxiety related to chronic illness. She rapidly established a productive relationship with him and provided him with effective tools to cope with anxiety not just immediately but in the long term. Her approach is supportive, flexible and, above all, practical. Jacky was a pleasure to work with and our son’s condition significantly improved after a relatively short period of counselling."

"I was in a very dark place before I started with Jacky. Although I will need to keep working on it myself, I can't explain how much better I feel. All methods worked for me. Would recommend to anyone for anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts. Thank you!"

"Jacky has been amazing. I wish I could carry on with her forever. I have seen several counsellors over 20-30 years and Jacky is the one who has helped me the most."

"Having had counselling before, I admit that I was hesitant about giving it another go. but once we got going, I found that I could open up about things in a way that I couldn’t in the past. What helped wasn’t just the relationship we built up, but Jacky’s approach to issues she taught me techniques that actually made sense and weren’t just based on a text book. She let me ramble on until I figured out what I needed to say. We had really interesting discussions that clarified certain thing and helped me understand things that were not touched on in the sessions. She made me laugh and see that I am not crazy, and be thankful for my mind. Life’s not perfect, certain ideas are still there and will be for some time to come. But with her help, I can cope better now and feel a somewhat changed man."

"Jacky was really great as my coach...she really listened to what I had to say and we worked as a team to achieve my goals. Overall I found the experience has really helped me and Jacky was a vital part of that."

"I had a short (6 week) course of counselling sessions with Jackie. I felt I needed some help to deal with anxiety, low mood and a lack of energy. Jackie's treatment room was always a safe, welcoming and calm space to drop into. Her level of skill and insight made the sessions feel very natural, and as the weeks unfolded I found that I was able to take power back into my own hands, sit with my feelings in a respectful way, and move forward with my life. Friends and family (and myself) have noticed a difference. I hope to return for more sessions soon but Jackie is always mindful of what clients are able to afford and the limitations on time. I would heartily recommend Jackie to anyone who feels moved to take responsibility for their wellbeing and who feels they could benefit from talking to someone in a warm, supportive environment."
