About Jana
I first met Miranda when I signed up to do some of her workshops.
I have found them life-changing and continue to be involved with them as a way of staying connected with my own process, as well as helping others gain the same benefits that I have.
As a clinical psychologist I have experienced many different kinds of therapies, both as a practitioner and as a client myself.
Change Matters offers something quite unique and, in my opinion, uniquely effective.
If you can relate to feeling stuck in your life, despite having tried a number of solutions, this service is for you. If you are at a point of pain where change needs to occur, then we can assist you in learning to help yourself.
As Miranda’s assistant, I have special interests in the following:
- Children, and the child in the adult
- Meditation
- The power of stories and other symbols
- Art and creative therapies
- Group work.
