About me
Hello I am Jen.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts, while no one truly understands how you feel? Perhaps your mood has been getting lower and your mental health and anxiety is becoming harder to manage. You may have also noticed that the support and strategies that once helped you are no longer working for you.
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.
You are worthy of an unbiased, safe and productive opportunity to process your experiences and I believe that everyone should experience feeling seen and valued for who they are.
I am a qualified, registered (MBACP) Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and I place strong emphasis on building a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship, as this is central to effective therapy. I am committed to providing a professional, ethical, and supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood. There is a huge amount of evidence to attribute successful therapy to the trusted relationship between the client and counsellor.
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 personalised approach, this provides an opportunity to explore personal difficulties in a confidential, supportive and non-judgmental environment.
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.
Alongside my private practice, I have over 15 years’ experience working within the NHS, where I have developed patient support services. I have also worked as a dementia and domestic abuse champion and contributed to equality and diversity initiatives. I hold an enhanced DBS and safeguarding certifications for both adults and children.
I also work frequently with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, recognising that everyone experiences the world differently. I aim to offer a space where you can better understand yourself, explore your strengths, and navigate challenges in ways that feel right for you.
I work with a range of issues, including:
Attachment
Low self-esteem and confidence
Depression and anxiety
Stress and anger management
ADHD and autism (neurodiversity)
Relationship and family difficulties
Menopause
Trauma and attachment issues
Burnout and work-related stress
Grief, loss, and bereavement
Mental health alongside disability or chronic conditions
Infidelity
Therapy allows accessing support at a time and in a place which is convenient for you. In our initial session, we can explore what you’re hoping to gain from therapy and whether my approach feels like the right fit for you, I am happy to support you finding the right specialist for you.
Evening appointments can be available.
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.
