ABOUT ME
I’m Jenny, and I offer talk therapies tailored to each individual’s requirements. Working together, I aim to empower clients through personal growth and self-compassion. I can help you build resilience and positive mental well-being, hold space for you to discover your authentic self, feel more fulfilled in your life and relationships, and create meaningful change.
I work with both adults and children across a wide range of issues including: childhood trauma, domestic abuse, narcissistic abuse, coercive control, grief, anxiety, depression, bullying, relationship difficulties (family, friendships, work, partners etc), bereavement, loss, identity, LGBTQ+ issues, neurodiversity, self-harm and suicidal ideation. I also have over twenty years’ experience in the creative industries.
I work face to face with clients at The Centre for Counselling, and I adhere to the BACP code of ethics.
Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse
I am passionate about helping individuals experiencing relationship and family trauma, domestic abuse, narcissistic abuse or coercive control. If you feel stuck in a challenging relationship or are experiencing the effects of leaving a toxic relationship, I can help with processing and healing trauma to enable you to thrive. You may feel you have lost your sense of identity, or have lost connections with family and friends. You may even still have contact with your abuser through children or other family members and feel unable to escape their influence. This could be from historic or present relationships with family, colleagues, friends etc. or with a partner.
Children and Young People
I am passionate about working with Children and Young People. I have previously worked in a school setting counselling children in year 7 to year 13 on a range of issues including: bullying, family dynamics, friendships, self-harm, disordered eating, bereavement, EBSA and SEN. I would meet with the child and parents for the first session during which we can discuss confidentiality, boundaries, working safely and ethically and I can answer any questions you may have.
Creative Industries and Freelancers
I have over twenty-years’ experience working in the creative industries and have a deep understanding of the specific pressures on freelancers and creatives in the workplace, particularly those who are neurodivergent and/or part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Understanding Neurodivergence
I have a deep understanding of the difficulties faced by individuals who are neurodivergent, as well as the challenges of parenting children with SEN. Whether Neurodiversity is a life-long diagnosis or you are newly diagnosed, I can help with understanding yourself through a neurodivergent-informed lens, and enable you to build a tool kit of coping skills and strategies.
LGBTQ+ Positive Practice
Whatever challenges you may be facing, I warmly welcome people of all genders, sexualities and identities in my practice.
COUNSELLING
My integrative approach means I work in a client-led way to put your needs at the heart of our sessions. Our work together may include a range of techniques and skills to help you process difficult experiences and feelings, and identify healthy coping mechanisms to manage any challenges you may be experiencing. This can include: Person-centred therapy, CBT , Psychodynamic therapy and holistic interventions such as guided imagery, breath work or mindfulness.
TRAUMA-INFORMED THERAPY
When working in a trauma-informed capacity, I work somatically with the mind-body connection to foster self-awareness and body wisdom – helping you to establish a felt-sense of safety, integrate healthy coping skills and resilience into your life and thrive.
I work within a three-phase trauma model using counselling skills, somatic practices and psycho education to help you better understand your fight/flight/freeze response, expand your Window of Tolerance, and safely process your T/trauma(s) and lived experiences.
RAPID TRANSFORMATIONAL THERAPY
Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) is a single-issue-focussed therapy technique that encompasses elements of hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to identify and change negative beliefs and behaviours. You will be fully-aware and in control at all times, as I gently guide you to find the root cause of your issue, create meaningful change on a subconscious level and build new neural pathways.
RTT can help clients overcome a wide range of issues such as: addictions, phobias, anxiety, physical pain, fibromyalgia, sexual issues, fear of public speaking, feeling stuck and self-confidence.
Each session booking includes: a 15-minute discovery call, an up-to-two-hour hypnotherapy session, a bespoke personalised RTT recording, a follow-up call and email support for one month.
