Understanding what’s holding you back is the first step towards moving forward
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, difficulties in your relationships or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers an opportunity to understand what’s happening, explore what may be contributing to it and begin finding a way forward.
How Can Psychotherapy Help You?
Anxiety, Stress & Overwhelm
When your mind rarely switches off, even everyday situations can become difficult to manage. Therapy can help you understand what’s contributing to these feelings, make sense of your responses and find ways to feel more in control.
Relationship Difficulties
Perhaps you’re struggling to communicate, finding yourself in repeated conflicts or feeling disconnected from the people closest to you. Therapy can help you understand these patterns and explore what needs to change.
Low Mood, Confidence & Feeling Stuck
Sometimes you know you’re unhappy but can’t quite explain why. You may have lost confidence, feel uncertain about yourself or struggle to move forward. Therapy offers an opportunity to understand what’s holding you back and begin making changes.
Meet Jack
I’m Jack Norwood, an accredited psychotherapist and counsellor offering individual therapy in Marlow, Thame and online.
I understand that deciding to see a therapist isn’t always easy. You may have a clear idea of what’s troubling you, or perhaps you simply know that something doesn’t feel right, but you’re finding it difficult to put into words.
You don’t need to have everything worked out before we meet.
I believe that therapy should be shaped around the individual, rather than expecting everyone to respond to the same approach. That’s why I work pluralistically, drawing on different therapeutic methods according to your needs, experiences and what we discover together.
For me, the relationship we build is an important part of that process. I want you to feel comfortable talking openly, without judgement or pressure, and to know that we’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Sometimes that means exploring experiences from the past. At other times, it’s about understanding what’s happening in your life now, recognising patterns that may be holding you back and finding ways to make meaningful changes.
My Background and Experience
My interest in psychotherapy has been shaped by both personal and professional experiences.
Growing up, I witnessed my grandfather, a Second World War veteran, struggle with the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I’ve also supported close friends and family members through periods of anxiety and emotional difficulty. Seeing how these experiences affected people close to me gave me an early understanding of just how deeply our emotional wellbeing can influence the way we live our lives.
Those experiences stayed with me and helped shape my decision to pursue psychotherapy professionally.
Over the years, I’ve worked in private clinical settings supporting people experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as within a cancer support centre, helping individuals navigate the emotional difficulties that can accompany illness, grief and uncertainty.
I’ve also worked with people struggling with low self-esteem, confidence and relationship difficulties, and with young men from challenging backgrounds.
What these experiences have taught me is that two people can arrive at therapy with seemingly similar difficulties, yet the reasons behind them, and what they need to move forward, can be very different.
It’s something that continues to influence how I work today. I believe that understanding the individual, their experiences and what matters to them is just as important as understanding the difficulties they’re facing.
As an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), I bring my professional training and experience to my work, but I also recognise the importance of being approachable, listening carefully and building a relationship in which people feel comfortable being themselves.
Taking the First Step
Deciding to speak to a therapist can feel like a big step, particularly if you’ve never had therapy before. You might have a clear idea of what you’d like help with, or perhaps you’re not entirely sure where to begin. Either is absolutely fine.
I offer a free, no-obligation introductory call, giving us an opportunity to briefly discuss what has brought you to therapy, answer any questions you might have and see whether working together feels right for you.
I offer individual psychotherapy and counselling for adults in Marlow, Thame and online, with sessions costing £65 for 50 minutes.
If you’re thinking about starting therapy, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
