Jane Owens

What I offer:

• Individual psychotherapy for adults
• Psychodynamic psychotherapy, alongside Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) informed and mind body approaches
• ACC registered

I work with people experiencing:

• Anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm
• Depression
• Grief and loss
• Loneliness and disconnection
• Relationship difficulties, separation and divorce
• Parenting and step parenting challenges
• Identity and self esteem struggles
• Life transitions and change
• Anger and emotional regulation difficulties
• Trauma, complex trauma, sexual abuse and intimate partner violence
• Feeling stuck in repeating patterns
• Neurodivergence and related challenges

We can spend a lot of time, energy and money trying to “fix” feelings of stress, unease or disconnection by keeping busy, focusing on achievement, appearance, work or relationships. Sometimes these strategies help temporarily, but the same feelings, patterns or difficulties can continue to reappear in different areas of life. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, feel supported and begin understanding what may be happening beneath the surface.

I see therapy less as an expert “fixing” someone and more as a shared process of exploration and understanding. While therapy can involve difficult emotions and experiences, I also believe humour, laughter and moments of lightness can be an important part of the process.

My approach is warm, relational, neurodivergent affirming and culturally sensitive. I draw from psychodynamic psychotherapy, DBT informed approaches and mind body techniques, tailoring therapy to each person’s needs and experiences.

It can be difficult to know from a few paragraphs whether someone will feel like the right fit. I offer a brief consultation so we can get a sense of this together, so please feel welcome to reach out.
