About me
Hello. 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.
My approach
You don’t need to arrive with all the words.
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.
Training & professional practice
Thoughtful work, grounded inprofessional training.
I hold a Clinical Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy from Metanoia Institute, where I am currently studying for a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.
My work is integrative, drawing on Transactional Analysis, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches to fit what’s most helpful for each client.
Before opening my private practice in Swindon, I spent several years practising at a London-based counselling agency and, more recently, with charities here in Swindon.
My earlier background also includes several years working within CAMHS, which continues to inform how I understand young people and family dynamics.
I am a BACP member and work within its ethical framework. I offer both short- and longer-term counselling during weekday daytimes and evenings, in person at Crowood House in Swindon or online via Zoom from a private space.
