Hi, my name is Jan Albertsen. Welcome to my website.

I am a qualified and experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist based in North Tyneside who also offers online therapy. I have 18 years experience of working with young people (11-25 years) and specialise in working with that age group. I also specialise in helping people with anxiety.

I offer a free 30 minute session. The free session gives you the chance for us to meet and for you to decide if you feel I could help you. It is an opportunity to ask any questions and talk about how the sessions would work for you. 

I am fully accredited with the BABCP (British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy) and a registered and accredited member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). 

If you are considering seeing a CBT therapist it is important they are fully accredited with the BABCP as this means you can be sure they have been trained to the highest level. 

I am a qualified and experiences online therapist. 

  • Specialism

I have 18 years experience of working with young people (11-25 years) and specialise in working with that age group. I also specialise in helping people with anxiety. 

  • What to expect  

In the first session I will explain how CBT works and we will identify specific goals to work towards. We will discuss the issue you are struggling with at present and start to understand the processes that have caused it and those that keep it in place. My counselling background and warm therapeutic style mean that I am able to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship which enables the therapy to work at a greater depth. This helps me to develop a deep understanding of the difficulties you are facing and use the Cognitive Behavioural model to overcome these problems and find the best way forward. 

At the heart of my practice is the belief that combining this deep understanding with tried and tested methods for change enables long lasting movement and healing to take place. 

The therapy takes place in a calm and supportive environment in either North Shields or Tynemouth. 

  • How to get there 

My rooms are close to the local metro stations (North Shields and Tynemouth). There are also parking spaces nearby.

Please email me or call: 07779095877 

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Jan.
