About me
Hi, I am Jenni, a qualified integrative counsellor offering a calm and supportive space for people who feel their current ways of coping or understanding themselves are no longer enough.
I work with people who are curious to explore themselves more deeply, particularly regarding patterns in how they respond to life and their relationships with others.
My approach is grounded in talk therapy and a relational way of working, with shared curiosity at the heart of what I do. Together, we slow down and make sense of your experience as it unfolds, paying attention to patterns, meaning, and what may sit beneath familiar ways of understanding yourself.
We can also explore creative approaches together, if and when they feel helpful or comfortable for you, especially when words are not enough or things feel stuck. This might include drawing, writing, or movement, for example.
I aim to offer a calm, thoughtful and non-judgemental space where you can explore at your own pace, with care and curiosity.

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.

Further information
You do not need to arrive with clear goals for therapy. Many people come when things feel uncertain or when familiar ways of coping no longer feel enough, and find that understanding develops over time as we work together.
Counselling is a space to slow down and make sense of what is happening for you, whether that relates to current experiences, past events, or patterns you are beginning to notice in yourself and in your relationships with others.
Some people come with specific difficulties they want to focus on, while others are looking for space to reflect, understand themselves more fully, or explore what feels unclear. Both are welcome.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit you, and we will regularly check in on how the work feels for you.
For creative work, no artistic skill is required.
