Jolene Broad

I primarily offer remote therapy, either via telephone, live chat sessions or video. 

This means I can offer much more flexibility that some therapists. Please contact me if you want to chat about availability.  

I'm an advocate for personal growth, healing, & self-discovery. With two decades of experience in neurodiversity & mental health, my journey into counselling is built on a passion for supporting people.

What pushed me towards becoming a counsellor was my personal journey. Over 15 years ago, I began an exploration of myself through therapy. This changed my view of myself and made me realize how valuable I am, & allowed me to believe in myself more.

This change in me motivated me to become a therapist. I want to offer others the chance to be listened to, understood, &supported as they heal and grow. My experiences of feeling vulnerable gave me an understanding of the challenges people face when wanting to understand themselves & their feelings better.

Drawing from my extensive training & personal experience, I am well-equipped to understand your challenges and how they might have impacted on your self esteem and self worth.

Being a parent to premature babies has given me a clear understanding of the emotional baggage that may come with the journey to parenthood, often valued by parents of twins +. Life often doesn't go as planned, and I'm here to support those who face unexpected challenges on the road to parenthood.

Having received a late diagnosis of dyspraxia & ADHD, I understand firsthand the impacts on daily life & self-esteem. My goal is to create a safe space where you can talk about these challenges, figure out ways to deal with them, and appreciate your unique strengths. We'll work together towards a better, more empowered, future that fits your needs & dreams.

Today, I work with many different people, all dealing with their own set of challenges & trying to reach their full potential. Clients often tell me that working with me makes them feel safe, heard, understood, & accepted. My approach embodies empathy, respect, & a desire to help people deal with life's difficulties & build relationships.

What to Expect

Starting your journey of self-discovery and personal growth can feel exciting and scary. At BroadMind Therapy, I want to make this process as comfortable and transparent as possible.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

The first step is to talk to me, and I know it can be nerve-wracking, especially if it's your first time seeking help. But don't worry, you have options to reach out:

- Email me at jolene@broadmindtherapy.co.uk

- Fill out the contact form on the website.

Here's what you can expect when you decide to take this important step:

I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation where we can talk about your needs and any questions or worries you have, during which we can talk about your . You're in control, and there's no pressure to commit to therapy. You can decide what feels right for you.

Your First Session

Your first therapy session is a crucial starting point on your journey towards personal growth and well-being. It's an opportunity for us to get to know each other better and establish a strong foundation for our work together. Typically, the first session runs longer, lasting around 60 minutes. This extra time allows us to delve into your background and experiences, helping me better understand how we can move forward effectively. It's also a perfect chance for you to ask any questions you may have and gain insights into the therapeutic process.

Subsequent sessions will typically last 50 minutes, but I'm flexible and can adjust the session length based on your specific needs.
