Jaime Van Weede, NCPS

Jaime Van Weede is a counsellor who works from the Dartington Estate in South Devon. She holds NCPS accreditation, is a member of the BACP, and has an enhanced DBS and a Level 3 certificate in Safeguarding. Jaime aims to help people who feel stuck, anxious, or unsure about a big decision by offering a calm place to talk.

She uses a person-centred approach at the start of work to build trust and understanding. As therapy progresses she may introduce cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of Gestalt to address current challenges in practical ways. Jaime also draws on mindfulness exercises to help with stress and anxiety.

Jaime has three years' experience and a particular interest in neurodiversity, informed by family experience and work with young people. Her practice covers stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD, plus a wide range of related concerns such as attachment issues, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Sessions are tailored to each person's pace and needs, with regular reviews to check progress and adjust direction. Jaime emphasises curiosity and discovery in the therapeutic relationship so people can consider things differently and find workable steps forward.

She works in English and sees clients within the United Kingdom. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Jaime's approaches translate to online counselling

Jaime uses a person-centred way of working that begins with listening and building a supportive relationship. This approach helps people feel heard and makes it easier to explore difficult feelings such as jealousy, anxiety, or grief.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments or practical steps to change them. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and relationship worries. Mindfulness Therapy offers straightforward breathing and attention exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Jaime will work with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences, and review progress regularly so the way of working can change if needed.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when plans are tight. It also lets people use mindfulness practices and CBT worksheets between meetings to reinforce progress.
