About me
Hello, I'm Jenny. I help adults, couples and people with ADHD (and their families) improve communication and connection by providing specialist guidance combined with practical tools that turn obstacles into strengths.
Anxiety management for Adults
Extensive experience including practical strategies and many free resources.
Couples Communication
Empowering couples to work through communication clashes, providing space for exploration combined with easy-to-follow tools to support mental health, resilience, and enhanced intimacy;
Neurodiversity Support for Adults and Parents
Supporting adults and families navigating neurodiverse challenges (ADHD, ASD, PDA, Dyslexia). Together, we will create long-lasting change, shame-busting and learning to harness the positives of our conditions and THRIVE;
I use a targeted approach to set appropriate goals for your therapy, and importantly this helps to signal when the therapy is over. This saves you time and money, as well as helping you feel better faster.
- Is anxiety holding you back?
- Want to learn practical strategies that will help you reconnect to others and move forward?
- Love your partner but you keep having the same old arguments?
- Sex and intimacy has abandoned ship and these days you'd rather read a good book?
- Your child has just been diagnosed with ADD/ASD and you've no idea what the next steps are.
- Perhaps you're an adult who has recently been diagnosed yourself?
- You want to support your child when they're having a meltdown but it's hard to keep calm yourself.
If this sounds like you, I'm here to reassure you I've gone through the same struggles and I know what can really help. With 25+ years experience as a therapist and evidence-based techniques, I can help you rekindle your romance and focus on a fun future together. With ADHD myself, and a mum of two neurodiverse girls, I know how to navigate all this, one step at a time.

I am BACP and UKCP accredited and my practice is fully insured and professionally supervised in accordance with BACP and UKCP guidelines.
Although I have trained as a Transactional Analyst, and additionally have had training as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, I also draw on the humanistic, relational, psychodynamic and existential approaches. Creativity is also central to my approach.

25 years of experience
I have extensive experience of working both briefly (up to 6 sessions) and long-term. I have provided therapy to people across a variety of mental health and well being issues, as well as delivering and developing psycho-educational workshops on subjects which include sexual health and well being, anger management, confidence, assertiveness and clinical anxiety and depression management groups. I work with clients from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds as well as those from marginalised communities.
Supervision and Coaching
I have worked with many trainees, newly-qualified and experienced counsellors and therapists based in schools, colleges and private practice. I have supported supervisees from their first client sessions to qualification, setting up their own private practice and beyond.
Some of my supervisees have passed their academic essays and case studies with distinctions, and I am very proud of their achievements. Here’s what some students have said about my sessions:
“The non-judgemental, constructive feedback I receive from you reinforces my confidence, helping me to internalise the compassionate approach I strive to offer my clients. I find a secure space for reflection and development, a space I am inspired to recreate for my clients, enabling them to grow.”
“Thank you for your insightful guidance. I really appreciate all the work that I've done with you so far in supervision. I find it really beneficial.”
School Counselling
I have worked as a school counsellor in London primary and secondary schools and have eight years experience as a classroom teacher.
In addition, I have supported young people at the Haringey Young Carers project, working specifically with their concerns about drugs and alcohol, mental health, street violence, sexuality and other issues. I also mentored young graduates in their initial career at the BBC.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

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).
