Jody Medland | Therapist

Overview

I am a trainee therapist who has entered the final year of my studies. I am on the verge of completing 100-hours of work as a volunteer therapist, meaning I have run one hundred sessions for clients, and because I have seen first-hand how long waiting lists are for people waiting to see someone, I’m now offering my services to anyone that may benefit from reduced rate therapy whilst I’m still training.

What’s on Offer

I am an integrative therapist who stays person-centred, meaning that I don’t go into sessions with my own agenda. Instead, I stay entirely focused on what you want to bring and then use my knowledge of different theories and methodologies to help you make sense of whatever you’re going through.

In short, if you’re feeling low and you’re not sure why, or if you’re feeling stuck and finding it hard to motivate yourself in your personal or professional life, I can work with you to understand the cause and find a way forward.

Likewise, if you have lived through a key life event and you know precisely what you’d like to address, I can focus on what has changed for you and help you make sense of it. It’s worth stating that I am very comfortable around heavy topics such as grief and loss, so don’t let anything be a barrier if you’re considering getting in touch.


Rates

As a rule, I believe that progress can be made more quickly when working face-to-face. However, I’m aware that there might be reasons or barriers that make this difficult for some people. Therefore, until I graduate in July 2026, I can offer the following rates and methods of delivery:

PER 60-MINUTE SESSION
In-person (Barnstaple): £35 an hour
Talk and walk therapy (Barnstaple): £25 an hour
Online / Telephone: £25 an hour


Duration

For many people, a great deal of progress can be made within 10-12 sessions. You would not be required to commit to this up-front as some people reach a natural end point in half that time, but I find this acts as a useful guideline. Alternatively, should you get towards the latter sessions but feel there is more you’d like to explore, you can request to extend the amount of sessions should you wish.
