About me
Life changing events brought me to therapy many years ago, when I desperately needed someone to help me to make sense of my situation. I found it truly transformative. Since then, I have dedicated my life to helping others to experience the power of therapy.
I create an environment which is warm, empathic, and compassionate. I offer a space where you can feel truly heard and understood. I will listen and hold what is causing your distress, without judgement. I help you to work through difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours which are holding you back.
I can help with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, burnout, bereavement and abuse.
I charge £55 - £65 per session. I offer individual face-to-face and online therapy to young adults (aged 16 upwards) and adults. I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation before arranging an initial session.
For therapy to work, a good client-counsellor relationship is crucial. I facilitate this by creating a space where you feel respected. We work together to figure out what you need, and how those needs are best met. I invite you to explore your feelings, and I may offer you gentle challenges to help you to gain new insights into your situation.
Therapy can be the vehicle to growth and healing. It can help you to notice things about yourself which may have been on the edge of your awareness, and enable you to develop a better understanding of your situation. It may also help you to identify coping strategies, enabling you to lead a happier and more fulfilling life.
I have substantial experience of working with diverse communities and welcome clients from different cultural backgrounds and faiths
As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I am guided by a strict code of conduct. This ensures that I work in a professional manner. It also ensures that I regularly participate in professional development to maintain and enhance my professional competency.
This is the experience of two former clients:
"Working with my therapist, Jenny has been such a positive and grounding experience. From the very beginning, she created a safe, non-judgmental space where I truly feel comfortable opening up. It’s more than just having someone to listen—Jenny helps me understand the deeper patterns behind my thoughts and behaviours in a way that feels compassionate and insightful. I always leave our sessions feeling heard, supported, and with something meaningful to reflect on. Her presence has made a real difference in my journey". (Female, aged 52)
"Working with Jenny has been really valuable for me. I appreciated her non-judgmental approach - she created a safe space where I felt understood. As an autistic person, I particularly appreciated how open and adaptable she was to finding approaches that worked specifically for me.
Jenny gave me the space I needed to explore my emotions at my own pace and through our sessions, I gained confidence and developed a deeper awareness of myself. I would recommend Jenny to anyone seeking a therapist who truly listens and provides a supportive environment for personal growth and self-discovery". (Male, 30)

I set up my private practice in 2010. Since then, I have supported people from diverse communities with a wide range of issues.
Prior to setting up my practice, I worked for a drug and alcohol agency, providing brief and open-ended counselling to clients with substance-misuse issues.
My interest in female empowerment led me to work for Victim Support for 5 years, before training as a therapist. I assisted female victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse, offering them advice and information. The role provided me with an in-depth insight into some of the issues faced by this client group. My experience also enabled me to develop the skills needed to meet their often very complex needs.
I have also worked for the Royal National Institute for the Blind, as well as for young people with a wide range of special educational needs.
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.
