About Jecinta
Jecinta Sivyer is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing common life pressures such as stress, anxiety and low self-esteem, and with people dealing with relationship, parenting and LGBT-related concerns.
She also helps when grief, addiction or trauma have left daily life feeling hard to manage. Jecinta regularly supports people coping with sleep or eating problems, anger, and the ongoing strain of caring for others. She lists ADHD, compassion fatigue and career stress among the issues she addresses.
Her way of working is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how patterns from the past may be affecting current relationships and feelings. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape trust and closeness.
Jecinta uses client-centred listening so people can speak without pressure and follow their own pace. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeated patterns, including family of origin issues, abandonment themes and difficulties with intimacy. Therapy often blends these views to make sense of recurring problems.
Sessions are aimed at helping people understand their reactions and make practical changes that fit daily life. She offers appointments in English, Lao and Swahili. International clients are not accepted; session arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site's online booking flow.
How sessions work
How Jecinta's approaches fit with online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape trust and closeness. In therapy this means noticing patterns in current relationships and trying different ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the client's pace. It gives people time to name feelings and decide what they want to change without being pushed toward a particular solution.
Psychodynamic ideas help surface repeated patterns and hidden conflicts that keep problems cycling. This can be useful for issues like family of origin problems, abandonment themes and intimacy difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jecinta will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, revising the plan if something is not helpful. The first sessions are used to agree priorities and practical steps.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy routine and keeping therapy regular even when life is hectic. If you are unsure which session style is offered, confirm the current options before booking. The emphasis is on making sessions usable alongside parenting, work and everyday responsibilities rather than asking for a big disruption to daily life.
