Serenity Counselling

Serenity Counselling Jackie Rogers MBACP Accredited Counsellor / Psychotherapist. Accredited IPT Practioner. My name is Jackie Rogers and I set up Serenity Counselling in 2011.

Although Serenity Counselling was a new venture for me, I have a vast amount of experience in counselling and supporting clients. For fifteen years I worked in the voluntary sector supporting clients who had been r***d, sexually abused (as an adult or child), in abusive relationships or bereaved through murder and manslaughter. I am a fully qualified therapist and am an Accredited Member of the BA

CP (British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists). Many people ask me how do you know if you need counselling? Well, there is no specific criteria for having counselling. If you are considering it, then maybe you have answered that question yourself already. Many people have counselling whether it is short term, long term or just having a safe space to share something and be heard. If there are times when you feel lost, unsatisfied or stressed in your life, counselling can bring clarity in a time of confusion and help you cope with anxiety or depression.You may be having difficulty dealing with recent circumstances, e.g. bereavement, redundancy, relationship breakdown or other changes in your life. or you may feel ready to talk about difficult past experiences or trauma. Counselling can help you identify where you want to be, what needs to change and how best to get there. I can provide you with a supportive, non judgmental and confidential environment in which together we can explore any emotional psychological or behavioural difficulties you maybe encountering. And this will help you to explore your own personal strengths and capabilities that are sometimes lost in times of confusion or anxiety. To find out more, have an informal chat or to make an appointment, please contact me either telephone (01283) 533646, mobile 07541 574010 or email me at [email protected]

I look forward to hearing from you ..........

When the sun’s out and everyone’s getting together, drinks are often part of the plan 🍻☀️ However, some people choose not to drink alcohol, and no matter the reason, their choice deserves respect 🫶

Don't pressure others into drinking or question their decision. Be kind and respect boundaries ❤️

Depression is still not spoken about enough, and sadly there can still be a stigma attached to it.

The Naked Scientists have produced an interesting feature exploring depression, including its history and the treatments available.

Last week, I had the opportunity to speak with Dr Chris Smith from Cambridge University about how talking therapy can help treat depression. It was a really interesting and insightful conversation.

Feel free to have a listen and let me know your thoughts.

We focus on raising kids with empathy, but what about raising our relationships?

I contributed to an article on Gentle Partnering, a fresh approach to connection and communication. Check it out!

"It is not about power and control but being part of a team and a united front."

Ever noticed how a child can “hold it together” all day… then explode at home? It is also relevant for us as adults.

This is one of my favourite ways to explain why that happens — and it’s simple enough to do with a real Coke bottle.

Sit with your child and pass the bottle back and forth.
As you talk about their day, gently shake it each time a stress or trigger comes up. Share your own triggers also.
Noise. Work pressure. Friendship stuff. Trying to behave. Trying not to cry.

Then pause and ask:
“What do you think will happen if I take the top off now?”

That moment matters.

It helps children see that the explosion isn’t about being naughty or out of control — it’s about pressure building with nowhere to go.

From there, you can explore the real question:
How do we take the lid off without an explosion?

We talk about letting the bottle settle first.
Deep breathing.
Quiet time.
Food.
Movement.
Connection.
Time to decompress.

Regulation isn’t about forcing calm.
It’s about releasing pressure safely — a little at a time.

👉 You can find The Coke Bottle Activity linked in the comments below ⬇️ or via Linktree Shop in Bio.

I’d love to know — what “shakes the bottle” most for your child after school?

The New Year can stir up all kinds of complicated feelings, especially if you’re struggling at the moment. Add in the pressure to celebrate and it can all just feel like too much.

If you find this a hard time of year, you're not on your own – we’ll be here all night long 💚
