About me
Hi there, I’m Jen. Welcome to my page!
I know that reaching out for support can feel daunting, but I’m here to help. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or you’ve been here before, I’ll work with you at a pace that feels right for you.
Together, we’ll figure out what approach works best for you, using open conversations and mutual understanding. As an integrative therapist, I blend different methods like Person centred therapy, CBT, Transactional Analysis, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy.
A bit about my experience: My practice is trauma-informed and holistic, because I believe in supporting the whole person.
I’ve worked with both adults and young people experiencing variety of challenges, and have experience with; depression, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss, relationship and social difficulties, suicidal thoughts, trauma, disability, misdiagnosis, intrusive thoughts, abuse, and neglect.
I also specialise in supporting neurodivergent clients, both in understanding their neurotype and navigating how it affects their lives and relationships. As a nuerodivergent person, I’m able to bring my lived experience into our work together. I know first-hand how powerful it can be to feel truly understood, and I’m committed to offering that level of understanding to you. I approach every client with openness and curiosity, and my aim is to help you feel empowered and seen in your own experience, wherever you are in your journey.
What is a neuro-affirming practice, you ask? It’s all about embracing your neurotype and supporting you in discovering and accepting yourself, rather than pathologising any differences in neurology. My goal is to help you grow, feel seen, and build your self-esteem along the way.
I’m committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and gender-affirming space where LGBTQI+ clients can feel respected, heard, and supported in their experiences.
What’s the first session like?
In our first session, I’ll follow your lead. Whether you prefer an informal chat to ease into therapy or want to dive straight into your thoughts, I’m here to adapt to what feels right for you.
I’ll ask some open-ended questions to get to know you and what you’re hoping to achieve. We’ll also cover any basics for safeguarding. Above all, I want you to feel comfortable as we begin this work together.
Client testimonial:
''Jenna is fantastic! It is such a pleasure to talk with someone who has such a deep understanding of disability. She listens with huge empathy and makes helpful connections between different things I express during our sessions. She generously shares her expertise, is very reflective and compassionate in her practice, and consistently ensures my needs and goals in therapy are met.''
What next?
If you’d like to see if we’re a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute intro call where you can ask any questions you have about therapy. Just give me a call, text, or email to schedule.
Looking forward to connecting with you!

Member organisations
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.
