Jaz Stroe

A Registered Member of the BACP, I've trained extensively in psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling, working with the past, memories, dreams and the unconscious. I also volunteer with two leading mental health organisations and benefit from bi-weekly supervision to deepen my knowledge and approach.

I’m also a third-culture person. I grew up in the UK with mixed Romanian and Serbian heritage. I know what it's like to perform versions of yourself while quietly feeling like someone else. Cultural identity, migration, belonging and othering are all woven into my psychology and therapeutic practice.

I aim to maintain a genuinely inclusive space across culture, identity, sexual orientation, relationship structure, faith, and background. I don't work from a single script of what a person, a relationship, or a life should look like. I work within an ethic of non-harm, to self and to others, and I ask the same of the therapeutic space we share.

Ultimately, I came into this work wanting to understand and aid my own mental wellbeing. I've had personal therapy for over a decade. I can only take you as far as I've gone myself, and I've gone deep. In other words, you're in safe hands, and you will be held week after week, for as long as you keep showing up.

Therapy qualifications from Birkbeck, University of London, Varndean College and CPD from Tavistock, BACP, Transform Trauma Oxford and more.

I have over ten years' experience of personal therapy across different modalities, alongside over six years of experience supporting adults in crisis in leading charities, mental health and wellbeing tech, counselling and therapy roles.

My theoretical foundations lie in the psychodynamic approach, meaning we can delve into patterns that you may have carried for years but no longer serve you. Equally, I'm trained in a cross-disciplinary way, so I tailor each session to you and what you need, moment by moment. You'll be supported to learn to trust and follow your own voice, needs and judgement for lasting change.
