Do you find yourself struggling at times? Perhaps going through a challenging life adjustment, relationship difficulties, trying to make sense of your emotions and experiences or feeling overwhelmed? Counselling can help you, offering a warm and non-judgemental place for you to talk in confidence about yourself, in a way that we don't usually get to do. Whether you are feeling lonely, anxious, angry, fearful, sad, in a low mood or grieving, or just have a sense that things aren't right but not sure where to turn, consider coming to therapy and focusing on yourself, your goals and exploring changes you'd like to make to your life.

Life can be hard at times; work can be stressful, relationships challenging and circumstances in the past and present can all affect our emotional health. Perhaps you struggle with anxiety or low mood or self esteem, or a life event has knocked you off course. When we're struggling it can be really helpful to speak with someone outside of our family and friends who can gently help you understand the why behind your feelings and behaviour; and offer the hope of change.

Hello I'm Jen and I am a person-centred therapist and I have been in private practice since May 2020 where I see clients remotely. I offer person-centred therapy to both adults and children. Working as a person-centred therapist I believe the client is very much the driver of their own therapy journey and I am here to offer that safe space required to enable the client to freely explore what is going on for them at a pace which feels natural to the individual. There is no obligation to set goals as the therapy I provide is very fluid and can go in any direction as the therapy offered is all about the person and not goals or targets.

If you’re experiencing overwhelming anxiety or stress, I can help. I’ve helped people with issues like panic attacks, social or health anxiety, financial worries, work or relationship stress. While that’s my speciality, I can also help with a variety of other issues (depression, relationships, bereavement etc). I work collaboratively and compassionately, and always follow your lead. I’m inclusive and welcoming whatever your background, identity or experience. We can explore your experiences so you can better understand yourself, increase compassion for yourself, and become better equipped at coping with anything life throws at you.

I believe that sometimes we all need someone to take the time to listen and support us to make sense of our feelings and emotions. I can offer you a safe and confidential environment to explore areas that might feel uncomfortable for you. I understand that past experiences can impact on present difficulties and we don't always know how to explore the emotions we are feeling. Therapy can offer the support required for a variety of issues and talking to an impartial and supportive therapist can help validate your worries or concerns.

Our past need not define our future. If you feel stuck, unhappy and are struggling to change, I can help. When in life we encounter distressing experiences our whole focus may be on surviving them. We can form patterns of thoughts and behaviour which help us cope, but which often continue unnoticed into our later lives. When these patterns of behaviour and relating remain our defaults, they may become obstacles to our future wellbeing. I offer a safe means to explore your thoughts and behaviours, to identify those which are unhelpful and to change, leaving behind obsolete past beliefs and behaviours to live the life you choose.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship, or sexuality issues? Do you feel stuck and lacking support? Do you feel overwhelmed by difficult situations or struggling with low self-esteem? Are you going through a life transition and finding it difficult to cope? Many of us may face hardships in life at some point and such times can be stressful, frightening, and lonely. Seeking help or support is not always easy. Talking to friends and family may be difficult, if not impossible as we may experience rejection, shame, guilt when we are most vulnerable.

Are you going through a difficult time in your life? depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma, disorders? Finding it hard to cope? lonely, confused, lost and uncertain what to do without someone who can listen and understand you? There can be times in your life when you need someone to talk to, listen to you or just be quiet with. Often this is not possible with your partner, family or friends and you may need a different perspective from someone that is not part of your life. Counselling can help you understand your thinking, your feelings the ways in which you act, helping you to make better life choices.

I have a particular interest and extensive knowledge regarding supporting those who have experienced early life developmental and complex trauma, separation and loss. Often these experiences continue to impact on our lives and abilities to make and sustain healthy and emotionally secure relationships in adulthood. Although psychoanalytically trained my clinical practice uses a range of therapeutic approaches and is predominately informed by attachment based theory. I can offer both short and longer term therapeutic support to individuals, couples and groups.

I see therapy as a close and creative collaboration, where together we can be with what concerns you and find out how are you relating with it. I can support you to understand how you are responding to life and how you hold off from it. Let’s find out what happens in you, that limits the possibilities. We can do this together, by listening closely, paying attention to your experience, including what is naturally being expressed in the body, because this is empowering. I trust this is more fruitful than working hard to try to figure things out. It gets below the rounds of thinking you have probably got caught in if you're struggling.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
