She also helps with parenting pressures, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and career worries.

Jen aims to listen first and work at a pace that feels manageable. Her style is person-centred and relational, with attention to trauma-informed care.
Background and approach
That means she focuses on the person in front of her and how their relationships and experiences affect them now. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change or understand. Jen has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent, including autistic clients and those with ADHD.
She also welcomes people from LGBT backgrounds and a range of social circumstances. Her work often looks at communication problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and midlife or career transitions. Jen completed counselling training at the University of Cumbria, holds a First-Class Honours degree from the University of Central Lancashire and a Postgraduate Diploma with Merit from the University of Leeds.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She keeps up with supervision and continued learning to shape her practice. The focus in sessions is to help people reclaim agency, build self-worth and make changes that feel authentic to them.
If someone prefers a steady, respectful way of working, Jen offers that supportive approach.
What Jen works with
Sessions & fees
Approaches and what online therapy can offer
Jen describes her work as person-centred and relational, and she brings a trauma-informed lens to sessions. Person-centred work focuses on listening and following what matters to the client, helping people make sense of their feelings and choices. Relational work looks at how relationships shape current difficulties and helps people try new ways of connecting that feel safer and more effective.Those approaches suit many problems such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and the effects of past trauma. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which ways of working fit their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the approach as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online work, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow someone to join from wherever they are based. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that is more practical, or be useful when video is not suitable and a different arrangement is preferred.
