Jennifer Henshaw

To find yourself here, you may be experiencing feelings of anxiety or be unsure of what you are hoping to get from counselling, knowing only that you want to feel differently. You may have clear goals or be struggling to see clearly. Feelings of stress or worry may be showing themselves to you through physical tension or trouble sleeping.

Together we can explore the reason you came in a safe and warm environment. I have a passion for connecting with people and entering their unique internal world so that we can explore safely together. I believe that being heard without judgement can be empowering, nurturing and the precursor to change.

You may be at a crossroads in your life, lost a sense of who you are, be struggling to overcome a specific hurdle, or experiencing low mood, depression or anxiety. In the first phone call or email exchange, we can discover if this is something we feel we can navigate together.

We can slowly uncover what might be hidden as a first step to creating real change in your life and how you experience relationships and the world around you.

Everyone experiences life as difficult at some point and talking it through with another can feel a bit step, but it can bring relief and be the route to change.

I work out of comfortable, private rooms in Ware and Hertford and online. 

I'm a qualified integrative counsellor, which means I can draw from different theories and techniques depending on the person and that moment in time. This might include looking into your personal history or tuning in to the moment.

I am currently undertaking further in-depth study into trauma and working somatically with the body.

My background was originally in the publishing, charity and education sectors. I am an animal lover and find strength and peace through being in nature. I find connections and common ground with people from all aspects of life and welcome all.

Before we meet, I offer an introductory telephone conversation where we can share information about ourselves and find a convenient time to meet.

In our first session, you get an opportunity to share some of your story, and what your hopes are. We get a chance to explore a way of working and you can afterwards decide if the fit feels right for you.
