Jane Marchment
About Jane
I am an experienced child and adolescent counsellor and a part time primary school SENDCo. This enables me to widen my reach and understanding about difficulties young people are experiencing especially if they have an accompanying diagnosis such as ASD or ADHD or who are struggling with their learning in school. I love theatre and part of my degree was in Drama. I believe Drama can be enormously transformative when used therapeutically. I am passionate about the arts in general as a way of expressing and healing trauma, pain and hurt.
My space
Further information
I am a creative therapist who uses the creative arts and play to allow a young person to express feelings and thoughts that sometimes may be too hard to express in words. This could be using drawing or painting, collage, clay, writing, creative visualisation and drama techniques. My counselling practice is in my home. Because of the restrictions imposed due to Covid-19 I was working online with young clients or walking and talking with them on the common close to my practice but am now working face to face and encourage this if at all possible. While working in schools I work with individual young people and also with themed groups. I have also led therapeutic drama groups in a secondary school.
