About me
You might be coming to therapy because something doesn’t feel quite right. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, caught in the same patterns that keep showing up in your relationships. Perhaps you’re tired of always being the strong one, worn down by an inner voice that never seems to let up, or quietly wondering, when is it my turn?
You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, grief or the effects of difficult experiences. Perhaps you struggle with self-worth or shame, find relationships confusing or painful, or feel different from the people around you. You may not have a clear idea of what’s wrong, just a feeling that something isn’t right or that you’ve lost touch with who you are.
You don’t have to be at breaking point to come to therapy. You don’t even have to know where to start. I often hear people say things like, “You’ve probably heard much worse,” or “I’m such a mess, no one can help me.” You don’t need to justify how you’re feeling or compare your difficulties with anyone else’s. We can start with whatever has brought you here.
I’m Jen, an integrative psychotherapist based in Wellington, Telford. I offer in-person sessions and online therapy across the UK.
My approach is relational. That means I’m interested not just in what’s happening in your life now, but in how you’ve come to see yourself, relate to other people and make sense of your experiences. Sometimes we develop ways of coping that once helped us get through difficult situations, but that leave us feeling stuck later on. You might find yourself putting other people’s needs first, keeping parts of yourself hidden, struggling to trust people or repeating relationship patterns you don’t fully understand.
Rather than giving you a set of techniques or telling you what you should do, I pay attention to your experience and to what happens between us as we work together. The relationship we build can help us notice things that might be difficult to see on your own, including what you need from other people, what feels safe to express and what you’ve learned to keep to yourself.
You don’t need to have everything worked out or know exactly what to say. I’m here to listen, to be curious about your experience and to help you make sense of what’s going on, at a pace that feels manageable. We can explore the things that have shaped you, the patterns that no longer feel helpful, and what it might mean to feel more comfortable being yourself.
Training, qualifications & experience
My approach
I’m an integrative relational-developmental psychotherapist. My training brings together relational, psychodynamic, developmental and attachment-based approaches.
I draw on these ideas to help me understand each person’s experience, rather than fitting people into a particular model. Two people can go through similar experiences and be affected in very different ways. What matters is understanding what those experiences have meant to you, how they continue to affect you and what might help now.
I pay close attention to the therapeutic relationship and work with you to understand your experiences without making assumptions about what they mean.
My experience
Before training as a therapist, I volunteered as a listening volunteer with Samaritans, speaking with people experiencing deep distress and suicidal thoughts. That experience showed me how important it can be to have someone who will listen without judgement or needing to fix everything.
I’ve since worked in counselling practices, both in person and online, supporting adults from a wide range of backgrounds.
Much of my work involves people who have felt unseen, unsupported or let down in earlier relationships, or who have spent a long time trying to manage things on their own. I also work with people who feel different, including neurodivergent people, those who find relationships or social situations difficult to navigate, and people questioning their identity, sense of belonging or relationship with their body.
My work is supported by regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development.
My qualifications:
- MSc Integrative Psychotherapy
- Postgraduate Certificate in Psychology
- Certificate in Counselling Skills
- Further training in trauma-informed practice, neurodivergence and developmental theory
- MBACP Registered Member
- MUKCP Clinical Member
My work is supported by regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Additional information
If something here feels familiar, you’re welcome to book a free 20-minute online introductory call. It’s an opportunity to tell me a little about what brings you to therapy, ask any questions you have and see whether working together feels right for you. You don’t need to prepare anything or know exactly what to say.
Sessions last 50 minutes. I charge £60 per session and offer both in-person sessions in Wellington, Telford, and online sessions for clients anywhere in the UK.
Once we arrange therapy sessions, please note, if you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know at least 48 hours in advance. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged in full.

Further information
My practice space (as shown in my photos) in Wellington, Telford is calm, comfortable and easy to reach by public transport.
Whether we meet in person or online, I aim to create a warm, peaceful environment where you can feel safe enough to explore what’s going on at your own pace. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-oppressive, and welcoming of people from all backgrounds and identities.
I work in a relational, down-to-earth way, you'll be met with curiosity, honesty, and care. The work we do together is collaborative; I believe the best therapy happens when you feel seen, understood, and supported to make sense of your own story.
