About Jecinta

Jecinta Sivyer is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and parenting strain. She also works with issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Jecinta communicates in English, Lao and Swahili and practises from the United Kingdom.

Jecinta offers a calm space where clients can talk through what feels difficult. She works in a respectful and sensitive way. The aim is to help people feel clearer and more able to make helpful choices.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening. These methods focus on relationships, how people connect, and understanding each person’s experience. She also brings psychodynamic thinking to help identify patterns that repeat across life.

Sessions centre on the person’s immediate concerns and longer-term goals. Conversations are shaped to fit the individual rather than a fixed programme. Jecinta helps people notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and develop practical coping strategies.

With four years of practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she aims to combine professional care with warm, straightforward support. People often come for help with life transitions, career stress, family of origin issues, or the ongoing effects of past trauma.

If someone is wondering how to start, Jecinta encourages taking one small step: name the concern and arrange the first meeting to see if the approach feels right.

How attachment and person-centred approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It helps people notice how early patterns affect current bonds and supports building more secure ways of relating. This can be useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, abandonment fears or family of origin problems.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the client brings. This approach suits those needing a supportive space to process anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes.

Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence present choices. Exploring those patterns can help people understand repeated difficulties such as dissociation, control issues or attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and adapt methods to what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant to their needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow a quieter check-in when needed. Discussing practical arrangements early helps match timing and style to real life commitments.
