Jen Cook

Hi I'm Jen, I work with individuals on their relationships.

Are you feeling criticised, unsupported and let down by a partner, friend , family member or work colleague?

 Are broken promises and arguments a regular occurrance?

 Is a lack of trust making you sick with worry? 

Do you replay the days conversations in your head at night?

Are you newly single and feeling overwhelmed?

If so, you may be noticing negative affects in other areas of your life around sleep, work and your well-being. 

You may have no energy or enthusiasm for fun and friends and notice you feel irritable with your family. 

You may be finding it impossible to make decisions or perhaps you are needing time off work?

If this is sounds like you please do get in touch, I can help you.

Difficulties can arise in all relationships, they are not exclusive to partnerships.

 This is not an exhaustive list: Parent, sibling, friend, work-colleague, child, teenager, partner, ex-partner, in-laws, boss, husband, wife, partner, adult child, grandparent.

I work with individuals. I have worked with everyone.

I can help you to:

Understand what the underlying problem is in your relationship, so that you can make confident decisions about your next steps.

Find out how you communicate with your friend/partner/parent which will reduce conflict and open up conversations that benefit your relationship.

Gain awareness of your role in the relationship so that you can reduce stress and create healthier connections.

Understand why you are attracted to the same personalities so you can feel confident in your choices.

If I can help please contact me.

 I am passionate about the life changing benefits of counselling.

I have learnt through my personal experience and my own use of counselling how to successfully navigate complex relationships.

 I have over 15 years experience of working with charities and have helped many individuals by supporting them through their challenging relationships.

My experience offers me an insight into your problems in your relationships.

I know the importance of understanding why problems may exist in the relationship and how to address these by building healthier communication.

I understand the impact of broken partnerships, feelings of low self-worth, bruised confidence and low self esteem and how a lack of trust brings doubt.

I have supported my clients to work through these relationship breakdowns, to make good decisions to either repair, recover or walk away.

I have helped my clients take an in-depth look at their relationship, gain understanding of their communication style and recognise their own needs in a partner/friend/work colleague.

About counselling....

I will offer you a non-judgemental approach so that you can explore, grow and make choices good choices about your relationships.

I will support you to discover your inner strength and resilience.

I will be alongside you as you discover about yourself and your relationships and work through any issues that may be holding you back.

How we will work together....

Establishing a connection built on trust and respect is essential in our work together. Therefore, it is important that you feel comfortable and relaxed with me.

I will offer you a quiet, neutral place to explore and work through the effects your relationship is having on you. I will be alongside, encouraging you, as you lead the sessions at your own pace to your own agenda.

As an Integrative counsellor I have a solid framework of theories to support you at rediscovering what you want from your relationship.

Additionally I am offering online sessions via Google Meet or WhatsApp and telephone sessions, therefore I can work with you in any location .
