About Me
“Finding strength in the shadows, growing in the light”
Hi, I’m Jen. I’m a counsellor from the North East of England. Most of my work is online, so you can connect from wherever feels most comfortable for you.
I’ve got training and experience (a BA in Counselling and years working with people), but honestly what matters more is how I show up in sessions: with warmth, humour, and a genuine interest in supporting you to live in a way that feels right for you.
I’m an LGBTQ+ therapist, sex-positive, and experienced in supporting people in polyamorous and non-traditional relationships. My practice is neurodivergent-affirming, inclusive, and non-pathologising; which basically means I see you as a whole person, not a checklist of problems.
Before counselling, I worked in the domestic abuse sector. This gave me a deep understanding of how trauma and difficult relationships ripple into every part of life. It’s shaped my approach: always trauma-informed, always gentle, and always focused on building trust and safety.
In our sessions, you’ll find a calm, supportive space where you’re in control. Sometimes that looks like exploring the heavy stuff, sometimes it’s celebrating progress, and sometimes it’s even having a laugh together. My role is to help you uncover your strengths, build confidence, and develop tools that actually fit your life.
Whether you’re working through past pain, learning to set boundaries, or just trying to feel more comfortable in your own skin. I’ll walk alongside you as you figure it out.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you feel like we could be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you.
