About Me
About Me
Hello, I'm Jane Cilliers LLB(Hons), MNCPS (Acc.) . I'm not just a counsellor; I'm a human being who's navigated life's ups and downs, just like you. My journey to becoming a therapist has been a long and winding one, filled with life experiences that have shaped my approach to counselling and my ability to connect deeply with my clients.
My Journey
I've always been fascinated by human relationships and the decisions we make. For over 30 years, I worked in the legal profession, specialising in family law and mediation. This experience gave me invaluable insights into human behaviour, especially during times of stress and significant life changes.
I've worked in legal aid clinics, handled divorce cases, and spent countless hours mediating disputes. These roles taught me the importance of truly listening and the power of empathy. I've sat with people during some of the most challenging moments of their lives, helping them navigate complex emotions and difficult decisions.
After three decades in the legal field, I felt drawn to explore a new path. I wanted to delve deeper into understanding why people make the decisions they do and why they sometimes feel stuck emotionally and perhaps leading to ill health. This curiosity led me to counselling, where I could use my experience to help people in a more profound, healing way.
I'm currently working with a low-cost counselling agency in Feltham, which allows me to provide accessible mental health support to a diverse range of clients. This work continually enriches my practice and deepens my understanding of the human experience.
