About me
Hi, I’m Jennifer, a qualified counsellor offering a calm, supportive space where you can speak openly and feel genuinely understood.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why things feel so difficult right now. Perhaps you’re used to holding things together on the outside, while inside your mind feels busy, emotions feel intense, or certain patterns keep repeating. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to work through it on your own.
I work with adults and young people navigating challenges such as anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, grief, and the impact of past or present experiences. Since 2012, I’ve supported clients through both significant life events and the quieter, ongoing struggles that can build over time. As a mum of two, I also understand how complex and demanding everyday life can be.
I bring both professional training and lived experience of ADHD into my work. This allows me to understand, on both a personal and professional level, challenges such as overwhelm, emotional intensity, focus, and feeling misunderstood. I aim to adapt our sessions so they work with you, whether that means a flexible pace, practical tools, or simply a space where you don’t have to explain yourself as much.
My approach is person-centred, meaning our work is guided by your pace, your priorities, and what feels most important to you. Where helpful, I can also integrate CBT-based tools to support emotional regulation and develop coping strategies that feel realistic and manageable.
I aim to offer a space that is inclusive, flexible, and respectful of different ways of thinking and experiencing the world. Many clients come to counselling not only to feel heard, but to better understand themselves, make sense of their experiences, and find a way forward that feels more manageable.
If you’re thinking about starting counselling, you’re very welcome to get in touch. I offer a free introductory call so you can ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right 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.

Additional information
I offer a sliding scale for individual counselling sessions. This means that you can choose a fee that you find manageable for you, within a range of £40.00 - £65.00 per session.
The intention of this is to make counselling support as accessible as possible, whilst also respecting the value of the counselling work. You are welcome to select a rate within this range based on your current financial circumstances.
I also offer a sliding scale for couples within a range of £50.00 - £75.00 per session.
I offer some limited spaces at a reduced cost for trainee counsellors.
