About Me

JACQUELINE GRATTAN MA, PGDIP, MBACP 

Jacqueline Grattan Herts Therapy

I am a qualified and registered psychotherapist, and as a member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) I adhere to their code of ethics. I hold an enhanced certificate from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and Professional Indemnity and Liability Insurance and I am trained in safeguarding of children and adults.

I studied at The Minster Centre, the UK's leading Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy training institute. Integrative therapy is a form of practice that enables a flexible and inclusive approach to understanding and meeting the needs of the individual client. 

My Approach

My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I draw from a variety of different theories, which enables me to work in a relational way, offering the very best tailored support depending on your individual needs. I focus on building a strong, therapeutic relationship that will facilitate support, awareness and insight, whilst promoting your personal growth. I also believe that our childhood experiences can have an impact on how we feel about ourselves today and can influence how we relate to others and how we live in the present moment. I incorporate psychodynamic ideas and attachment theory into my work with clients, as well as relational psychotherapy placing importance in our therapeutic relationship.

There are many different therapeutic approaches available and it can be confusing to decide which one is suited to you, find out more about these approaches on my FAQ page.
