When everything feels too much
Anxiety, stress or a sense of being overwhelmed can make it hard to know where to begin. Therapy offers space to slow things down and make sense of what is happening.

About me & my approach
You don’t need to have all the words yet.
I’m Jen. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where you can pause, be curious about yourself and talk about what matters to you.
Life can be challenging at times. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. Making the first step towards seeking help can be daunting, so I appreciate you being here.
My way of working is warm, collaborative and responsive to you. I will listen carefully, help you notice patterns and support you to develop a deeper understanding of your emotions, relationships and choices. I will not tell you what to do or hurry you towards an answer.

How I can help
Wherever you’re starting from, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. The introductory call helps us decide whether my experience and way of working fit what you need.
02
When relationships feel difficult
Patterns with family, partners or colleagues can leave you feeling stuck or disconnected. Together, we can explore what you need and how you want to relate to others.
03
When the past keeps showing up
Earlier experiences, loss or change can continue to shape the present. You can approach what feels difficult gradually, without pressure to share more than feels manageable.
Whatever might be on your mind
There’s no wrong place to start — just where you are today.

Frequently asked questions
A few things you may be wondering.
You can ask about anything that is not covered here during the introductory call.
What happens in the first session?
There is no test and no expectation that you tell your whole story at once. I can explain how counselling works, ask what has brought you along and make room for any questions. You can take things at a pace that feels manageable.
How often will we meet?
I usually recommend meeting weekly, at least to begin with. A regular rhythm helps build the relationship and gives the work momentum. We can discuss frequency based on what you need and what slots I currently have available.
Is counselling confidential?
What you share is treated with care and confidentiality. Before you begin, I will explain the limited ethical, legal and safeguarding circumstances in which I may need to share information.
Can we meet online?
Yes. Online sessions are available via Zoom. You will need a private space, a stable connection and a device where you can speak comfortably without being overheard.
What if I need to cancel?
I try to be as flexible as possible if you are unable to make a session, and will offer an alternative time or day in the same week if I can. Sessions cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled time will be charged at the full fee if they cannot be rearranged.
How does counselling end?
Ending can be discussed as part of the work. We can review where you are, talk about what has changed and agree what a thoughtful ending might look like.
