About me
I'm Jen, a person-centred therapist offering sessions in Sheffield and online.
I have over 15 years experience supporting people to navigate personal identity, build self compassion and explore life transitions. I have particular experience helping queer, trans, non-binary and poly clients. I have been a queer-focussed therapist in private practice for nearly a decade now and love working with people of all ages who are discovering who they are and where they want to be.
I start from the belief that you are inherently good and have the capacity to grow. This is the core foundation of my therapy practice, rooted in the person-centred approach. My approach empowers you to find the answers, with me alongside you. Together we will make sense of what’s going on for you, what’s getting in the way and what needs to change.
People come to me with all kinds of things, including:
- depression, anxiety, stress and burnout
- exploring gender identity or sexuality
- difficulties with confidence or relationships
- life transitions such as menopause, bereavement or divorce.
In therapy with me you will find a safe and warm place to share what matters most to you, and find what you need to move forward.
If any of that resonates, I’d love to hear from you.

Weekly sessions
I work on a regular weekly basis, as I find this is best in terms of the momentum and focus of therapy, and our shared commitment to the process. We may meet every other week in the course of winding down our sessions together, if this feels useful.
