Jaime Van Weede, NCPS

Jaime Van Weede is a counsellor who works from South Devon and uses a person-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult moments. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through anxiety, stress, relationship problems, grief, trauma and ADHD-related concerns. Jaime describes counselling as a place to increase self-awareness and find fresh perspectives on stuck or painful situations.

Her background includes an NCPS credential, membership of a professional association, an enhanced DBS check and a Level 3 certificate in Safeguarding. She trained in an integrative model but often begins work with a person-centred stance. As therapy progresses she may bring in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques and elements of Gestalt to focus on present-moment awareness.

Jaime has a particular interest in neurodiversity informed by family experience and earlier work with young people. She also lists ageing and geriatric issues among her additional focus areas and supports conversations about caregiving, chronic illness, cancer and long-term conditions alongside emotional concerns.

Sessions are shaped around the individual. Some people choose a few short sessions and others prefer longer-term work. Jaime recommends reviewing progress together at an agreed point to make sure the pace and focus still fit the client’s needs.

Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works in English. People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

How Jaime’s approaches work in online therapy

Jaime uses person-centred counselling that focuses on what matters to the client and on being heard. This approach helps people talk through feelings such as anxiety, loneliness or uncertainty while the counsellor reflects back what they notice to aid understanding.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used for practical skill-building. It looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and helps people try different ways of responding to reduce distress and manage symptoms.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices that can calm racing thoughts and improve focus. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety and ongoing worry by training attention and easing reactivity.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Jaime will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals, and she adapts the mix as therapy progresses so it feels useful and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the therapist biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while in-person sessions can offer a different kind of contact. Registered or accredited professionals can provide support by tailoring session length and focus to everyday schedules and commitments.
