About Jacintha

Jacintha Canary is a counsellor with 25 years working in mental health and wellbeing. She is based in the United Kingdom and brings a background that combines teaching, community leadership and counselling. Jacintha identifies as Christian, and she welcomes people of any faith or none.

She focuses on everyday pressures such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, self‑esteem, eating concerns and parenting strain.

Background and approach

Career worries, anger and coping with life changes are included in her practice as well. Her work draws on client‑centred principles. That means she listens first and helps people find their own solutions rather than giving direct answers.

She uses body‑awareness and trauma‑informed ideas alongside mindfulness and practical, solution‑focused steps. Jacintha also uses a framework called QSL, or Quantum Social Learning, which includes body mapping and paying attention to sensations to support self‑exploration and healing. She brings additional training in resilience, forgiveness, anger management, conflict resolution and coaching to support people through difficult transitions.

Her background includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Person‑Centred Counselling, primary teaching and sports coaching, plus certificates in community leadership and the QSL methodology. She speaks English and Afrikaans and offers work with international clients by online formats.

Online support

Client‑centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people decide what matters most. This approach suits people who want a guided space to make sense of their feelings and take their own next steps.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, breath and bodily sensations. It can help when anxiety, stress or persistent worry make it hard to think clearly. This practice is useful for managing tension and building steadier attention during everyday life.

Trauma‑focused methods pay attention to how past events affect the body and mind now, using gentle exploration and techniques that reduce overwhelming reactions. This work is often paired with body‑based awareness to support recovery from difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. She adapts techniques over time so the work fits your pace and priorities.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check‑ins, ongoing coaching or when you want a flexible way to reflect between sessions. Registered and accredited professionals can offer this variety to match practical needs and daily routines.
