Let’s explore negotiating the reality you want, healing and tools to strengthen your mental health. Therapy can be an empowering space, including for your relationship, career, men’s issues, self-esteem, assertiveness and transformation goals and challenges. I offer an oasis to safely learn more about yourself and grow, protected by confidentiality and unconditional positive regard. My life experience includes having worked as a family law lawyer for over four years, and I’m a husband and father.
As a co-traveller within sessions, I focus on creating that crucial empathetic environment where we can explore underlying patterns that impact how you act and think, and the building of the empowering alternatives you want.

My approach to therapy is grounded in social justice and anti-oppression, and guided by narrative frameworks. I believe our lives are shaped by the stories we and others tell us about who we are. When we decide to come to therapy, it’s often because stories about problems (and about how WE are a problem) are dominating our lives. My role is to help you examine these stories and your relationship to them, and to explore, create, and sometimes change the stories in your life.

Would you like a better understanding of your behaviours in general, or in friendships and relationships? Together we can look at exploring the strengths, relationships, and experiences that have got you to this point, and move forward in a way that reconnects you with yourself and your goals.

Jane Kraft

I focus on anxiety, issues impacting men, depression, addiction, life changes, relationship issues and grief and bereavement counselling. I am also part of a consultation group on gender, identity and sexuality. I believe we all have many stories to tell. Each story being unique, meaningful and worth telling. Through this process of telling these story-telling, we begin to heal wounds and find ourselves again. The many stories of my life led me through loss, grief, stress and pain but also joy, connection, meaning and love. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for people to discuss their emotions, thoughts and behaviours, and engage in a plan to create a rich and meaningful life.
