How Jenny uses different therapies online

Jenny commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to help people online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on spotting what matters to someone and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centred Therapy offers a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and listens to help them find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will discuss different ways of working and decide together with the client which methods suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching methods to the problem, whether that is anger, grief, relationship stress or anxiety.

The biography notes she provides online and telephone counselling. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online and telephone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel or family life, shorten travel time and allow regular check-ins from different locations. They can also make it simpler to use practical tools in real time, such as breathing exercises or coping plans, and to build steady routines that fit everyday life.
