Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure which direction your life is heading? I’m Jen, a warm, integrative therapist, counsellor and coach working with adults and teens.

I have a particular interest in Trauma, PTSD,Fear and Addictions and its connection with Anxiety and Depression and work to help you find the solutions to reduce the impact this has on your life.
You can feel very alone when you are experiencing difficulties and uncertainty in your life, when your thoughts and emotions overwhelm you and a way forward feels hard to see. Counselling can provide a safe, confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions, to help you better understand what you are feeling, allowing you the knowledge to find greater self awareness and safety within yourself. This provides you opportunities to have the space and choice in your life to find your own way forward to facilitate your potential for change, growth and personal fulfilment to create lasting positive changes in your life.

My approach is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-aware, and focused on helping you build clarity, emotional balance, and a more compassionate way of being with yourself.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns that don’t make sense anymore. Many of the people I support describe carrying too much, feeling responsible for everyone else, or losing touch with their own needs. You might want clarity, steadiness, or simply somewhere you can say things out loud. You don’t need to have everything worked out. Therapy gives you space to explore what’s happening and make sense of what you need next. We take it step by step, at a pace that feels safe for you.

Are you adversely affected by negative or unwanted emotions? A large focus in my work is helping my clients to achieve conscious control of an otherwise subconscious process. After 6 - 8 sessions of working with me, you will have much better control of your emotions, therefore a lot of issues that revolve around unwanted emotions will no longer be an issue. If you're interested in DBT, get in touch and I'll show you another approach that gets much better results with far less effort in a significantly shorter timeframe.

I specialise in working with people with PTSD, bereavement and grief, or any other past experience which has left you feeling distressed or disturbed.
If anxiety, self-doubt or a constant sense of unease has become part of your everyday life, it can feel as though you're always on edge. You might find yourself trying hard to keep others happy, putting your own needs last or listening to an inner voice that is rarely kind. Perhaps difficult past experiences still affect you in ways that don't fully make sense. Some situations might leave you feeling unexpectedly overwhelmed or out of control. Over time, all of this can leave you feeling disconnected; from others, and from your sense of yourself. If this resonates with you then you're in the right place.

DBR deals with deeper held trauma in our mind/body.
I am an experienced therapist & clinical supervisor who believes in creating a safe space for us to bring vulnerabilities & challenges. Living inevitably means that we face challenges and experiences can get stuck and leave us struggling to cope, or to be at our best. Slowing down, understanding what we do, and being aware can help us to live in a healthier way - I aim to help people clear a path for better flow in life and work. I value a healthy baseline - moving & eating well, sleeping soundly, making contact with nourishing people, and living with awareness. I offer Gestalt and DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting) approaches.

Perhaps anxiety has become your constant companion. Your mind never seems to stop. You replay conversations, imagine worst-case scenarios and carry a knot in your stomach that never quite disappears.
Perhaps it’s OCD. The thoughts you’d never say out loud, and the rituals that promise peace but only tighten their grip.
Or perhaps it’s your gut. IBS that turns a simple day out into a risk assessment.
However it shows up, the pattern driving it sits below conscious thought. Which is exactly why understanding it has never been enough.
