About your Therapist

Jade Bonney Psychotherapist & Counsellor – Couples Therapist – ADHD Un-Coach

Picture
I’m a professionally trained psychotherapist and counsellor with more than a decade of experience working with adults, teens and couples. Clients come to me when life feels noisy and chaotic, burnt out, disconnected, overwhelmed or stuck. Many are in the thick of parenting, perimenopause, relationship breakdown or major life transitions. Others are navigating the messy brilliance of a neurodivergent mind and are exhausted from trying to “hold it all together”.

My work is grounded in training, evidence and experience. I’m as confident using practical, science-informed tools as I am exploring emotions, meaning and deeper patterns. If you want clear, direct strategies you can apply straight away, I’ll provide them. If you work best in a more relational, intuitive or creative space, I can meet you there too.
My style is straightforward, flexible and honest. There’s no therapist persona here, I’m the same person in the room as I am in real life. Alongside talk-based psychotherapy, I integrate body-based awareness, creativity and emotion-focused approaches, because real change doesn’t happen in your head alone.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I built a first career in the corporate and design world, working in project management and cultural change within a design agency. That “big, colourful life” and front-line experience of complex workplaces inform how I understand stress, burnout, identity and relationships.

At the heart of my practice is a clear aim:
  • to help people feel more empowered, more emotionally regulated, and more deeply connected to themselves, to others, and to the life they actually want to live.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can Change" 
- C.R. Rogers
