Background and approach

That experience informs the way she listens for safety, patterns and practical needs. Jenny uses a mixture of approaches rather than one fixed method, tailoring sessions to what feels most useful for each person. In sessions she takes a collaborative, compassionate stance.

She encourages clients to notice strengths and small changes, then build simple skills to handle tough moments. Conversations often balance practical strategies with space to process feelings. Jenny commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviours.

She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas when exploring relationship patterns and early influences. People work with her on a wide range of concerns including sleep and eating issues, parenting challenges, career stress, ADHD-related coping, and end-of-life or hospice-related distress. Her aim is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

How these approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while clarifying what matters most to you and taking committed action. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and express emotions that drive relationship patterns and attachment wounds, which can be useful when addressing intimacy and family issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jenny treats the decision as collaborative and will discuss approaches with you in early sessions. Together you can try techniques from different approaches and decide what fits your goals and comfort level.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you see body language and have longer conversations. Phone calls work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or when you prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
