Jaime Van Weede, NCPS

Jaime Van Weede is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult times. She holds NCPS credential meaning she is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society. Jaime describes counselling as a place to gain self-awareness and to find clearer direction when life feels stuck.

Sessions begin by building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. That relationship is used to encourage curiosity and new perspectives. Jaime often starts with person-centred listening and then introduces practical tools as needed.

She brings three years of clinical experience and a particular interest in neurodiversity. That interest grew from her family’s experience of diagnosis and from work with young people. Jaime says this helps her notice different ways of thinking and relating when she meets a client.

Her main focus areas include stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and ADHD. She also works with a broader range of concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, chronic illness, and substance difficulties.

Jaime trained with an integrative model and often pairs person-centred practice with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Sessions are paced to suit the individual and they review progress together at agreed times. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.

How Jaime’s approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It involves reflective listening, empathy and helping people to find their own answers, which works well in talk-based sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be used for anxiety, stress and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy emphasises present-moment awareness and simple exercises to calm the body and mind, which many find helpful for anxiety and stress.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what fits. This collaborative planning means the approach can shift as a person’s needs change over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer not being on camera, while others engage well with exercises and mindfulness practices over video. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist to find a way of working that fits everyday routines.
