About me
There are times in life when things can feel overwhelming, leaving you unsure of where to turn or how to move forward. Reaching out for support can feel like a daunting first step, but you don't have to face things alone.
Hello, my name is Jenny. I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with over ten years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. I offer a warm, compassionate and confidential space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted.
Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at a pace that feels right for you, helping you gain greater understanding, build resilience and reconnect with the person you want to be.
I work integratively, tailoring therapy to meet your individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. My practice draws on a range of evidence-based approaches, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), Person-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), enabling us to work in the way that best supports your goals.
EMDR is a therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories that may have become 'stuck'. Normally, when difficult things happen, our brains are able to make sense of them over time. However, overwhelming or traumatic experiences can sometimes remain unprocessed, so they continue to trigger strong emotions, physical sensations, or negative beliefs in the present. Think of your brain as a filing system. Most memories are filed away in the right place, but traumatic memories can get stuck in the 'inbox' so they keep popping up as if they're happening now. EMDR helps your brain file those memories away properly, so you can remember them without feeling overwhelmed by them.
Person-Centred Therapy offers a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what's on your mind. By exploring your thoughts and feelings together, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, develop self-acceptance and find your own way forward.
CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours influence one another. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies to help you cope more effectively and create lasting, positive change.
If you'd like to find out more, you're welcome to give me a call for a free, informal chat. We can talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, and I can answer any questions you may have. This also gives you the opportunity to see whether I feel like the right therapist for you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
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.
