Jodie Bament , BACP

Jodie Bament is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and has seven years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Jodie aims to offer calm, practical support for people facing difficult life changes.

Her approach is warm and respectful. She listens first, then works with each person to shape a clear way forward. Sessions are adapted to what the person needs rather than following a fixed script.

Jodie uses client-centred methods to help people feel heard and to build on their own strengths. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to reduce overwhelm and improve focus in day-to-day life. These methods are often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with loss.

Common issues Jodie helps with include relationship worries, separation and divorce, feeling empty or isolated, guilt and shame, and trouble with communication. She also supports people dealing with money stress, life purpose questions and social anxiety.

Her style is practical and compassionate. She helps people set small, achievable steps and notices progress along the way. Jodie encourages self-compassion and clearer decision making as part of moving forward.

How Jodie’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each person's individual needs. It helps people feel understood and builds on their own resources to make changes, which can be useful for stress, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm. It helps with anxiety, rumination and managing strong emotions by bringing attention back to the present moment.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jodie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and how to adapt them over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from another location, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or busy schedules.
