About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I’m Jen and I am an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist. Life can sometimes feel challenging, and things do not always work out the way we may have planned with everyday stresses and events easily becoming unmanageable. We all need support at some point in our lives to overcome difficulties. Counselling can provide you with the space to explore your thoughts and feelings and overcome issues that are causing emotional pain leading to a more positive outlook on life.
Issues I have worked with:
I have worked with clients on a broad range of issues including depression, low mood, anxiety, low confidence and self-esteem, childhood trauma, different types of abuse including emotional, physical, sexual, neglect and domestic abuse, loneliness, bereavement, work-related stress, relationship issues, family issues, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. My particular interests are working with young adults in their 20's and 30's experiencing any emotional issues.
My Experience:
I am an experienced accredited counsellor who has a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Alongside my private practice, I currently work for the NHS as a counsellor, which involves working with adults who have a wide range of common mental health problems.
I have a wide range of experience within the field of mental health dating back to 2008 when I started to support both adults and children with a variety of different mental health issues. I qualified as a social worker in 2013 and have many years experience of working for a local authority providing early help services to children and families as well as providing statutory services to children and families. I have also previously worked as an emotional health and wellbeing practitioner with children and young people. I have experience of counselling clients from a local mental health charity and have also provided counselling to children in schools through Place2Be.
Practice description
My approach:
Although I am predominantly trained from a Person-Centred perspective, I can incorporate other approaches to suit the needs of my client such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotion Focussed Therapy. My integrative style allows me to adapt in accordance with your needs. I am able to offer both short and long term counselling.
How counselling can help:
I know that taking that first step and reaching out for help can feel daunting. I will do my upmost to offer you my genuine understanding, openness, and respect. I place great importance on providing a confidential non-judgemental safe space where you feel comfortable to explore problem areas in your life. I will work alongside you on your journey to help you to find resolutions and develop coping strategies. Counselling can also help you to develop a different perspective and identify the root cause of your problems, which can lead to a happier more fulfilling life.

I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation where we can explore how we might work together and what your goals are for therapy.
