About Jen
Jen Woodward is a counsellor with seven years of therapeutic experience and a longer background working in mental health settings across the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and combines a calm, patient approach with close listening.
Jen aims to create a steady space where people can talk about worry and stress without feeling rushed. She works in a psychodynamic way, which means she pays attention to patterns that repeat in someone’s life and to feelings that sit just below the surface.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on how early experiences, relationships and inner thoughts influence current struggles. This can be useful for anxiety, stress and difficulties with self-esteem and relationships. Jen also supports people facing trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, work-related strain and concerns about intimacy or addiction.
She pays particular attention to attachment, body image, dissociation and the emotional work around pregnancy and fatherhood issues. The aim is to help people notice patterns and make different choices. In sessions she invites straightforward conversation and gentle reflection.
She helps people name hard feelings, understand their triggers and develop more reliable ways of coping. Therapy can feel demanding at times, and she prepares people for that honest work. Everyone’s experience differs, and Jen welcomes people from all genders and backgrounds.
Her practice is based in the UK and sessions are offered in English.
Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy options
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and repeated patterns influence the way people think and feel today. It involves talking about memories, relationships and recurring reactions so those patterns become clearer and easier to change. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship difficulties and problems rooted in past trauma.The therapist’s style is reflective and curious rather than directive. She will work together with each person to find which ways of working fit best. Finding the right approach is a shared process and may change as therapy progresses based on the client’s needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, which gives flexibility to fit therapy around life. Video calls are useful for a near face-to-face experience, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, while chat or messaging can suit short check-ins and ongoing reflection. These options make it simpler to keep continuity when schedules are tight or travel is difficult.
