Jani Santos

Many of the people I work with are busy professionals who look like they’re coping well on the outside, but feel stretched, stuck or disconnected underneath. You might have relocated for work and still not quite feel at home. You might find yourself adapting to different expectations at work, at home and in your family. Or you might keep running into the same patterns in your relationships, or the same argument with your partner.

Therapy gives you a confidential space to step back from everyday pressures, make sense of what you’re carrying, and find a steadier way forward. My style is warm, collaborative and non-judgemental. You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before we begin. We can start wherever you are.

I take a relational and embodied approach. Alongside talking things through, we notice how stress and difficult experiences show up in your body, emotions and relationships, such as tension, poor sleep, feeling on edge or shutting down. This helps us understand what keeps you stuck and what helps you feel more grounded.

I work with individuals and couples, including couples from different countries and cultures. The aim is practical, lasting change that fits your life and your goals.

I’m a BACP accredited counsellor with over eight years of experience supporting individuals and couples with identity, belonging, relationships, and the pressures of family, work and culture. I’ve also lived between cultures myself, which shapes how I listen and understand the complexities people bring.

I’m happy to start with a 10-minute introductory call to see if we’re a good fit.
