About Jodie
Jodie Bament is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Jodie also supports those struggling with feelings linked to abandonment, family and relationship problems, guilt and shame, and issues around purpose and money.
She uses client-centred therapy to keep conversations focused on what matters to the individual. That approach aims to give people time to talk and to be listened to without judgement. She blends this with mindfulness-based techniques to help clients notice thoughts and feelings more clearly and reduce reactive patterns.
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Jodie shapes discussions around the immediate concerns someone brings, for example rumination about past actions or ongoing worries about relationships. She works on breaking down problems into manageable steps and practising new responses between sessions.
She pays attention to how family background, faith or past choices can shape shame and guilt. Jodie offers practical strategies for handling intrusive thoughts, building self-compassion, and improving communication with others. She also helps people with everyday problems like money stress and relationship tensions.
People usually begin by describing the specific situation that feels heavy right now. From there she and the client decide what to focus on next and how to pace the work. The therapist uses straightforward language and short exercises so the work can fit into a busy week.
How her approaches are used in online therapy
Client-centred therapy puts the client’s priorities first. The counsellor listens and follows the topics the person brings, helping them clarify what feels most urgent. This can help with shame that comes from past actions or from ongoing relationship issues.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without immediately acting on them. Practising these skills can make repetitive guilt or rumination feel less overwhelming and help people respond more calmly in stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jodie will make choices together with the client based on their goals, preferences and how they respond in early sessions. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on conversation, exercises, or short mindfulness practices between meetings.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and meeting from different locations within the UK. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking.
