Individual Psychotherapy & Counselling
Supporting you in your personal and spiritual development
WELCOME, I'M JANE DEMPSEY
I offer a confidential, safe and supportive space for exploring personal issues, development and life choices
I am an experienced and qualified psychotherapist and supervisor, and a Registered Member of the BACP. I offer a confidential, safe and supportive space for exploring personal issues, development and life choices.
There may be a variety of reasons which lead you to seek support - a sense of isolation or depression, panic or confusion. You may be in crisis or at a crossroads, feeling anxious or 'stuck'. You may be seeking a more spiritual path or working on deepening personal development. In my experience, the very strength we need in order to be strong and joyful resides within us.
As a therapist, through working together, I will support you in recognising and listening to this inner voice as you begin to access personal choices and power, and to increasingly find meaning in the life you are creating.
I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy in Dorset, in person and by telephone or online. Please contact me for more information, to enquire about supervision or to arrange an appointment.

Learn moreHow I work
My therapeutic background is Person Centered. This means my work is focused on you. It also means that I accept that you as an individual have the power and freedom to change.
I work with a Transpersonal Psychological approach (from 'trans-' meaning 'beyond'), recognising the spirituality or highest potential within us, investigating and reflecting this through our shared work.
And my work is Integrative; I use a mixture of teachings, creativity, mindfulness and meditation tools where appropriate. Within the context of exploring your experience together, communications and personal expressions through art, music and stories can act as a release and alchemy for pain, grief and other life emotions and experiences.
Session length
Appointments are 50 minutes long, usually at a regular time each week. We explore how you would like to work, time commitment and number of sessions at the start.
Fees
My fees are £60 per session. I do sometimes have low-cost spaces available - please ask if cost is a concern.
Confidentiality
Everything you bring to our sessions is completely confidential. My work is supervised and I follow the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
An integrative approach
I use a mixture of teachings, creativity, mindfulness and meditation tools where appropriate. Personal expressions through art, music and stories can act as a release for pain, grief and other life emotions.
About me
Jane Dempsey
Although I trained and worked as a professional violinist, I always maintained a deep interest in our collective and individual journeys and the relationship between ourselves, nature, spirit, music, art, mythology and more.
Exploring spiritual paths, I spent time in Nepal and India and took part in retreats with the well-knowned Vietnamese Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh and HH the Dalai Lama.
Experience
In the late 90's I undertook personal counselling work with Rob Preece through a series of Transpersonal Workshops and retreats, which lead to my study of Transpersonal Psychology at the Centre for TP in London.
In 2003 I completed a Diploma In Counselling at Bristol University.
From 2004, I worked for a time with the Terence Higgins Trust and Off The Record in Bath and North East Somerset, supporting and counselling clients.
In 2017 I completed a Diploma in Practical Spirituality and Wellness with William Bloom.
I am presently participating in Bereavement training with Cruse and continue to work in music and in counselling, in a variety of contexts.
I offer one-to-one counselling sessions, short and longer term, and facilitate meditation groups and self development workshops. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions you have – I'd like to hear from you.
