About me
Hello, I’m Jennie, an integrative counsellor based in Frodsham, Cheshire. I offer face-to-face counselling from a dedicated garden room, as well as online sessions.
People come to counselling for many different reasons. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck, struggling with relationships, low mood or difficult emotions, or finding that you keep falling into patterns that you don't fully understand. You may be affected by experiences from the past, going through a significant life change, or simply feel that you need some space to make sense of what is happening.
My role is to offer a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and at your own pace. I believe that being genuinely listened to and understood can create the space needed to begin exploring things more deeply.
I work integratively, drawing on Person-Centred, CBT and Psychodynamic approaches. This means I don't believe counselling should follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we can explore what is happening for you now, while also considering the thoughts, feelings, experiences and relationship patterns that may be contributing to how you feel.
Alongside my private practice, I have experience working with the mental health charity Mind, supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds. I am a qualified and insured counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
If you're considering counselling, you're very welcome to get in touch. We can have an initial conversation about what is bringing you to counselling and whether you feel I might be the right counsellor for you.

How can I help?
I tailor our work to you, your circumstances and what you would like to get from counselling. Some people come wanting practical ways to manage what they are experiencing, while others want to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the patterns that may be affecting their lives.
We can explore:
- Understanding patterns in your thoughts, feelings and behaviour
- Exploring anxiety, stress and difficult emotions
- Building confidence, resilience and self-compassion
- Understanding relationship patterns and boundaries
- Navigating life changes and challenging experiences
- Exploring how past experiences may be affecting the present
- Developing greater awareness of your needs, feelings and behaviours
- Finding new perspectives and ways of moving forward
You don't need to have everything figured out before starting counselling. We can begin with wherever you are now and work from there, at a pace that feels manageable for 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.
