About me
Hello, my name is Jenn. I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist.
I provide bespoke evidence-based therapy and counselling for adults and older adults, using an individualised approach that takes into account your unique circumstances and needs. It is important to me to provide an open and non-judgemental space, and I hope you will come to feel safe in exploring and expressing your thoughts and feelings.
I have a particular interest in helping people to live well alongside challenging health conditions and health anxiety.
For example:
- Do you feel stressed, worried or limited by ongoing physical symptoms and your health?
- Have you found your world becoming smaller over time due to your health?
- Have you had a sudden change in your health and find it difficult to cope?
- Do you feel worried about medical appointments and investigations?
- Have you had traumatic experiences in medical and hospital settings?
By working together, I hope to support you to understand yourself and your difficulties better, connect with your values and live a life that feels meaningful and nourishing. I aim to help you take steps toward your goals and feel more able to manage difficult emotions.
I am also experienced in working with a range of common difficulties, such as stress, bereavement, depression, worry and anxiety.
I draw from different models of talking therapy, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Training, qualifications & experience
I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
In my NHS work I am a senior psychologist, providing support to individuals (and their families) living with inherited heart conditions and cardiac devices in a large London hospital. My role also involves providing teaching and consultation to colleagues in the wider multidisciplinary team, as well as supervising other clinical psychologists and trainees.
I have completed further post-qualification training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and clinical supervision.
- Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy; UCL)
- MSc Mental Health Studies (King's College London)
- BSc (Hons) Psychology (UCL)
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.

Further information
I am continuing to offer remote video appointments alongside face-to-face appointments. From client feedback, it appears this fits best with busy lifestyles and schedules.
I also hope that, by offering remote appointments, I can provide better access to counselling and therapy for people living with health conditions who might otherwise struggle to attend traditional outpatient appointments.
