Dr. Jill Singer

I am committed to the development of a safe relationship that is nurturing, non-judgemental and illuminating. I passionately believe in the uniqueness of each person, so I use a highly personal and progressive ‘integrative method’ which uses a range of approaches to best fit your individual needs. My focus is on guiding you through the complexities of your life, help you realise your own potentials and authentic self. In this way, I support you as you discover inner peace, fulfilment and direction.

I work with a wide range of difficulties, including eating disorders, relational problems, depression, anxiety, bereavement and life crisis. I work with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, bereavement, body dysmorphia, depression, life crisis, stress, and trauma.

Apart from working with individuals, I specialise in couples and families, and run several women’s therapy groups. I am a supervisor for trainee psychotherapists and guest lecturer for training courses in England and the US.

I trained as a psychotherapist at Brighton University, the Institute of Psychotherapy and Social Studies and the Institute for Group Analysis. I have undertaken further training in Gestalt, Psychosynthesis, Existential Therapy, Bodywork, Art & Drama Therapy, Family Therapy, Archetypal Psychology and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I am an Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist, having trained in both California and London. I also work with Mindfulness as well as Team Building and Diversity Training.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I was a lecturer for Sussex University’s Centre for Continuing Education, I ran therapy groups at Lewes Prison, and counselled for the Open University.

I recently completed my first novel, Double Doors, and am currently writing a book based on my PhD thesis, The Eve Complex, which explores the formulation of gender identity and reveals a missing piece in Freud’s Oedipus Complex. The book, by contrast, is in Eve’s voice as she travels through the years.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy; the International Therapists Exam Council; the Corporation of Advanced Hypnotherapists, the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, and Associate of the Royal Society of Medicine.

I have been voted on of the ten best psychotherapists in Britain.
