About me
Hello there, I am Jen.
Are you finding that your mood is getting increasingly low and life's challenges are getting harder to manage? You could be drowning in your own thoughts and no one knows how you REALLY feel. Take the first step empowering yourself to find clarity. I understand that finding an experienced therapist who is the right fit for you can feel like an overwhelming task and deciding to embrace therapy can be a big decision. We can work together to identifying patterns and areas for growth, exploring your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a safe and non judgmental space.
I work as a qualified integrative counsellor/psychotherapist who prioritises the value of the therapeutic relationship. There is a huge amount of evidence to attribute successful therapy to the trusted relationship between the client and counsellor.
As an integrative counsellor/psychotherapist I will work with you to understand your unique situation, tailoring therapy to your individual needs, drawing from evidence based models and techniques to create a more personalised approach. This allows us to adapt methods used as your needs evolve throughout the therapeutic process, developing personalised support for healing and self awareness.
You are worthy of an unbiased, safe and productive opportunity to process your experiences and I believe that everyone should experience feeling heard, seen and valued for who they are. I provide an opportunity to explore personal difficulties in a confidential, supportive and non-judgmental environment.
In our initial session I will help support you determine if my approach and way of working is the right fit for you.
Counselling can include expressing painful feelings, which many of us experience at certain times in our lives. Working together in therapy can help provide the confidence and tools you need to better your quality of life. Addressing the emotional and physical issues you face and providing tools to understand and work through them in therapy can assist in improving relationships with friends, family and colleagues.
If you're feeling stuck and not gaining the most out of life i can support you reach your potential.
Therapy allows accessing support at a time and in a place which is convenient for you. As an integrative counsellor, I work with a wide range of issues with modalities that best suit you and the experiences unique to you.
I have worked in the NHS for 14 years developing support services for patients. I am a dementia and domestic abuse champion and part of the equality and diversity group within the NHS. I hold an advanced DBS as well as certificates in safeguarding for vulnerable adults and children.
I specialise in low self-esteem, low confidence, depression, anxiety, stress management, ADHD/Autism neurodiversity, anger management, relational problems (family issues) Narcissistic and emotional abuse, trauma, attachment and grief/loss/bereavement.
Please get in touch and we can collectively work together towards improving your life experience.

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.
