Background and approach

She helps people talk through anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship worries. She also supports those coping with addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges tied to identity and intimacy. Jenny uses a mix of body-focused somatic work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive methods to help people notice what is happening in their bodies and minds.

She draws on attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working to build trust and focus on what matters to each person. Sessions aim to connect practical steps with moment-to-moment awareness. Her approach is collaborative and paced to suit each person.

She encourages small experiments and everyday practices that fit into busy lives. Conversations are straightforward and aim to leave people with clearer choices and coping tools. Jenny offers sessions online in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients through video, phone, chat or text.

Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Somatic work helps people become aware of bodily sensations and how those sensations link to emotions. It often uses simple attention to breath, posture or movement to help reduce tension and increase grounding, which can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses and chronic stress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and on identifying values to guide meaningful action. It can help with depression, worry and life transitions by encouraging small committed steps toward what matters.

Attachment-Based ideas inform how Jenny pays attention to patterns in close relationships and helps people change repeating dynamics. Client-centred listening offers space for people to lead the conversation and be heard without pressure.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the individual's life.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy flexible. These formats let people join from home, fit sessions around family or work, and keep progress between sessions through messages and chat when useful.
