Registered Psychotherapist
RP, WPF Dipl
We all develop our own way of being in the world and therapy offers a unique opportunity to examine that alongside someone. I consider part of my role to be a witness to your experience, listening and observing as your narrative unfolds while applying my skills to support you along your path. This may include highlighting elements of your experience that would otherwise be difficult to see on your own or linking events to provide context for better under-standing the patterns that have shaped your life. Together, we’ll work to understand your past and present in a way that can offer more awareness and agency in your future.
My training is based on psychodynamic theories and practice ranging from traditional analysis to contemporary models. I work with adult individuals, meeting once weekly for 50 minutes. Our timeline is agreed in the initial consultation, either for ongoing work without a specified end date or a short course of therapy lasting 8-12 sessions to focus on a specific area.
We might think of our sessions as a picture frame with its image created each week from your thoughts, feelings and experience. As we view this together, and repeat the process weekly, links between these snapshots can be identified and then patterns recognized. In this way, another overall picture becomes visible which can provide additional perspective in the work.
Before working as a therapist, I was a journalist for more than two decades. In that role, I listened to people from all walks of life around the world in various circumstances and always with a belief that every voice deserves to be heard. This is also true in therapy.
I completed my training and worked in the UK before returning to Toronto. In Canada, I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), and a member of British professional standards associations including the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). As a member of these organizations, I abide by their Codes of Ethics and Practice and commit to upholding professional standards of excellence in practice.
I’m also certified as a clinical supervisor and provide professional case consultations.
You can contact me via my website – www.jglovertherapy.com. Feel free to ask any questions or schedule an introduction call, lasting 15-20 minutes and free of charge to consider how we could work together. There’s no commitment required. To begin, simply send me a message and I’ll reply within 48 hours.
