Jodie Bament

Jodie Bament is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Jodie describes supporting clients who feel stuck, unsure of what comes next, or who are trying to rebuild confidence after a loss.

Her approach is grounded in client-centred work. That means conversations focus on the person in front of her and what matters most to them. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help manage strong emotions and bring attention back to the present moment.

Jodie often addresses issues that feed into feeling directionless, such as abandonment, relationship and communication problems, and feelings of emptiness. She also supports people dealing with separation, blended family tensions, guilt, shame and loneliness. Practical topics like money worries and social anxiety are within her scope too.

Sessions aim to clarify what matters and to build simple, manageable ways of coping. Jodie will listen, reflect and help people test out different ways of responding to difficult situations. Conversations may include noticing thought patterns, practising brief mindfulness, and setting small steps to try between meetings.

People choosing to work with her follow a short matching process and then schedule a first session. Costs vary depending on location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Working online with client-centred and mindfulness approaches

Jodie uses client-centred work to keep the focus on the person's priorities. That approach involves active listening, reflecting what matters to the client and helping them name what feels important. It is useful for people who are unsure what to address first or who want a collaborative, respectful conversation about next steps.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques. These are brief practices and attention exercises that help people notice their thoughts and bodily responses. Mindfulness can be useful for managing anxiety, grounding during grief, and reducing rumination that makes decisions harder.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Jodie will discuss options with each person and help decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative choice based on current needs rather than a fixed plan.

If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the supported formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, use shorter check-ins when time is limited, or choose not to be on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals will support practical arrangements when you schedule your first appointment.
