Jodie Mainstone - Psychotherapist/Counsellor/ Clinical Supervisor and Trainer
Dip Couns, MBACP (Accred), AP (Accred), NCAC, BACP Registered Psychotherapist/Counsellor & EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant/ Clinical Supervisor
I became a qualified Psychotherapist in July 2007 and dedicated the ten years working in various facilities and organisations, where I gained a wealth of diverse experience. By 2017, I had taken on several senior positions within these organisations and began my private practice on a part-time basis. Now, I focus on my private practice full-time, seeing clients in Hampstead NW3 on Mondays, offering online sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays and EMDR in person Intensive sessions on occasional Sundays (Prebooked).
I provide clinical supervision for integrative therapists, including those working towards EMDR UK accreditation in addition to offering tailored training for clinicians. If you’d like to know more, feel free to visit my other website www.mainstoneconsulting.co.uk
Throughout my career, I have provided therapy in both the UK and South Africa at several renowned treatment centres. With two decades of experience, I have worked with a wide range of client groups, including those facing eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addictions, low self-esteem, bereavement, and relationship or attachment challenges. I have particularly extensive experience in treating clients with eating disorders and trauma (PTSD and CPTSD), and I am recognised as an expert in this area. Additionally, I am trained to work with many neurodivergent clients, including autistic individuals and ADHD(ers) and I embrace a neuroaffirmative approach, supporting the social model of disability.
My therapeutic style is integrative, allowing me to draw from various modalities to best serve my clients' needs. I tailor my approaches to fit the individual rather than forcing clients into a specific therapeutic framework, as I believe that each person is unique. Some of the methods I utilise include person-centered therapy, CBT, DBT, EMDR, Systemic therapy, and Psychodynamic therapy. My primary goal as a therapist is to create a safe and nurturing space for clients to explore their challenges and acquire new coping strategies.
My journey into therapy began when I sought help for my own life challenges. I believe that both my personal and professional experiences have shaped me into the therapist I am today. I am deeply passionate about my work and feel incredibly fortunate to contribute to the journeys of others.
