My name is Jessica Puddicombe

I love Jesus, My husband, my children, my milk cow norah, over 100 Chickens, a great cup of coffee & a glass of red wine!

I am a woman who strives to help others and make positive changes to better the world around us. I have a voice; an opinion and am not afraid to speak up; even when the world says not to.

Untangled Counselling to Coaching has been brought to life through my strong calling from God. Walking with people in their life’s journey and helping them through the hard things in this life. Reminding people that they are not alone and that there are people that care, and are genuinely here to listen.

My life’s story has brought me to this place where I want to use the hard things I have walked through, as a way to help others. I was raised in environments that exposed me to alcoholism and drugs, childhood sexual abuse, poverty, atheism, and domestic violence. I have made it to the other side by my Faith in Christ, and many wonderful counsellors, friends and family along the way.

My experience is in:

• crisis intervention counselling
• trauma counselling
• domestic violence recovery and counselling
• solution based therapy
• narrative counselling
• marriage mediation and restoration
• behavior activation therapy for depression

Why choose me?

It is my goal to assist you in living a life untangled from the trauma you’ve experienced; and to help you tell your story in a way that allows for processing and healing.

I believe we are vessels and our minds are wonderful muscles filled with memories. These memories may serve us well in times of perseverance, yet may hinder us in other areas of our lives. There is hope that these memories and situations will wane and alter in a way that you can see the opportunities that lay ahead. This is what I am here for, to be the person to help you see the opportunities instead of the problems.

We can experiences challenging situations in our life and pull through it with the help from God. There are those on this earth who are helping Him do His work. We are God’s working ‘busy-bees’ on this earth, and I believe this with every bit of my being! I want to give back to people in a very natural and authentic way; not only through counselling but coaching and mentorship as well. We all need someone in our corner.

Coaching takes someone who is at a functioning level and brings them to optimal. We don’t always feel up to ‘another goal’, however, with my support, we will unlock the blocks which are hindering you from living the life God has for you. The best life is around the corner, and I am here to help you see that.

Solution focused counselling empowers someone who is not functioning in an area of their life. This push from your coach / counselor could be exactly what you wanted to direct your path forward! I am very straight-forward and expect a lot of work from my clients. Solution-focused counselling does just this, we concentrate on the solutions, not the problems!

Narrative therapy is different than solution-focused therapy. Narrative therapy allows people to tell their story; and then to think about it in another way; empowering the client to process the trauma or situation they are in. Narrative therapy can take months if not years to fully ‘talk it out’. Be aware, your trauma may have happened fast, but the emotions around them rarely do.
