About me

I'm Jeni, a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Coach and a registered member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). At the heart of how I work, is the belief that you should be able to come to therapy as yourself. You don't need to have the right words or know exactly what you want to change — we can work that out together. My approach is warm, direct and holistic. I offer a confidential, supportive space where you can feel heard, explore what's going on for you without judgement and begin to find a way forward that feels right for you.


There is no single way to do therapy. My approach puts you at the centre, focusing on what has brought you here and what you want to understand or change. Together, we may explore your past, relationships, thoughts or behaviours, or simply create a safe space to talk, be heard and make sense of how you feel.


Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, so there’s no need to have everything figured out. Simply get in touch and we’ll arrange a free 15-minute chat to talk about what you need and see how it feels. If you’d like to continue, we can arrange your first session, with no pressure or expectation to commit.

Training, qualifications & experience

I’m a qualified and experienced counsellor and coach, but I also understand therapy from the other side of the room. Having experienced the benefits of counselling myself, I know how daunting it can feel to reach out for support — and how much of a difference finding the right therapist can make.

My own experience taught me that not every therapist or approach will feel right. I met a few “frogs” along the way before finding the therapists and styles of therapy that worked for me. When I did, it made a real difference.

That experience is one of the reasons I value introductory calls so much. They give us an opportunity to get a sense of one another, talk about what you’re looking for and explore whether we feel comfortable working together. Therapy is a collaborative process, and finding someone you feel able to trust, talk openly with and work alongside is an important part of that.

I’m a registered member of the NCPS and have experience supporting people with various issues including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, relationship difficulties and addiction.

I work pluralistically, which means I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead, we can draw on different therapeutic approaches and tailor our sessions around you — your experiences, your needs and what you hope to achieve.

Alongside my private practice, I also volunteer with a local bereavement service, supporting people as they navigate grief and loss.
