Jenny Doig
Experienced counsellor offering practical emotional support
About Jenny
Jenny Doig is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 22 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and anger. She also supports concerns such as addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain and career transitions.
Jenny uses a respectful and compassionate approach when meeting people for the first time. Her style is practical and person-focused. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed formula.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns linked to attachment, thoughts that fuel distress, and the values that matter to the client. From there she helps people try different ways of responding and relating. Jenny draws on several approaches to suit different concerns.
Client-centred work places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. Cognitive behavioural ideas help with unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Attachment-based thinking looks at how early relationships influence present difficulties.
People come for help with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties, compassion fatigue, and coping with major life changes. She also works with specific areas such as abandonment, body image, codependency and divorce. Her conversations aim to be straightforward and warm.
Jenny will tailor the pace and focus as therapy progresses. The aim is practical steps people can use between sessions as well as time to talk things through in the room.

Sessions & fees
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Jenny often uses client-centred work which means sessions focus on the person’s own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens and mirrors back what matters most so the client feels heard and understood. This approach is helpful for people who need a safe space to talk through problems.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thoughts and the behaviours that follow them. CBT offers practical skills to test and change patterns that keep anxiety, low mood or anger going. Attachment-based ideas are used to explore how early relationship patterns affect current ways of relating and responding to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your goals, needs and preferences. That means checking in regularly and adapting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs, and they allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions as required. Many people find online work saves travel time and makes scheduling more flexible while still focusing on meaningful change.
