Welcome I'm Jodine​

Over a decade ago I began a deep internal journey which changed the course of my life for the better. Divorce and being a single parent wasn’t the dream I envisaged for myself or my children. Despite every conscious effort to not repeat generational patterns, here I was repeating them. I began my own inner work with an innocent naivety of the wounds I held and so I had to learn and overcome what I was now seeing and feeling for the first time. During that time I qualified as a psychotherapist. This was driven by my own painful experiences of an absent father, addiction within my family and my passion to help bring healing to people who have been through traumatic and stressful situations in their lives. I have a strong desire to help people live a more meaningful, empowered and connected life, so I made this career choice and never looked back. 

I’ve had many roles and positions over the years, being a mum to 3 boys and more recently an adopted daughter, also learning to navigate the needs of an ADHD child. It has been challenging! I'd say i'm fairly experienced in the up's & downs of family life and the joy's & demands of parenthood.

The challenges I experienced whilst being a mother left me feeling isolated. I longed for real authentic connection with other women. So this led me to set up a space for women. A place to gather, get real and understand one another.

This space is The Red Tent. I am committed to this group and have held this space for almost a decade. I believe in the importance of this space for ALL women. My healing and growth continues to take place alongside these women every time we gather.

I believe you can't know what you want until you know who you are. Therapy can be a really helpful tool to help you get to know yourself at a deeper level. As a therapist i think of myself as a puzzle master and mirror holder: I help people make connections between their parts and experiences as well as gently support them in reflecting on who they are and how they got here. Of course I can only support others in doing this sort of work because I've spent years in my own therapy and self development.

As a Transpersonal therapist I have a creative and intuitive approach which is trauma-informed and values the whole of your being. I draw from a range of exploratory tools such as visualisations, somatic exploration, mindfulness, creative expression, movement, breathwork, and meditation. I intend to create a safe space for you to unpack what is at the root of your distress and help you connect with your feelings, values, beliefs and your body.
