About Jenny

Hello, and welcome. I am a trained humanistic counsellor believing that all people have inherent worth and are to be respected for their subjective experience of life. 

Although this is primarily a listening therapy, I am also trained in expressive arts therapy and do include this within my practice, if a client so wishes; this often accesses deeper emotions which may have been buried many years. Some of the mediums used are clay work, image-making, sand-tray, dream and song work, story-telling, and many more. I work from home and provide all materials and space to facilitate this work.

As well as being a therapist, I have also worked as a sixth-form  English Literature teacher, tutor and coach for twenty years so am both comfortable and experienced communicating with older teenagers (18+) and young adults.

Working with people of all ages, at their own pace, means some come for as little as six weeks, some for a year: all is valuable.
