About me
Greetings! I'm Jenny, and I am a registered member of BACP, and I graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a PGDip in Counselling in 2023.
Forget the stereotype of the all-knowing therapist, sitting silently and assessing your situation with their perfect wisdom. I am not here to tell you what's wrong, or what to do to fix it. I believe you have the answers inside you. My job is to work beside you collaboratively, draw out this innate wisdom, and help you find a way of being that feels right for you.
I believe more people than not have experienced painful things in their lives that have left a lasting mark. Often these experiences lead us to develop maladaptive ways of coping. Although these defences are ways that our mind tries to keep us safe, they ultimately lead to further suffering.
I am trained in psychodynamic and person-centred theory. I use psychodynamic theory to understand your past, and person-centred theory work with you and find a way through it.
Psychodynamic theory understands that our past relationships (in particular, the relationship with our primary caregiver/s) has formed the way we relate to others in the present. We have a complex inner world that shapes our experiencing of reality.
The heart of person-centred theory is that the quality of our working relationship will determine the effectiveness of therapy. That's why I'm fiercely committed to providing you warmth, empathy and a lack of judgement, so you can explore your story in a safe way.
I also have significant experience working with adults in Higher Education, and I offer concessionary rates for students.

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.
