About me and how I work
Hi, I’m Jennie, a person-centred counsellor, proud mum and step-mum to two wonderful daughters, and dog mum to a very loved Cockapoo. The experiences and relationships in my life have taught me a great deal about patience, resilience, and what it truly means to listen and care. These are qualities I bring into my counselling practice, where my focus is always on offering understanding, empathy, and a safe space for others to simply be themselves.
Like many people, I’ve faced my own challenges, life hasn’t always been easy and I have faced loss, health struggles, and times of real change. These experiences have shown me that life will always bring difficulties, but they’ve also taught me that with the right support, we can find strength we didn’t know we had.
This is one of many reasons I became a counsellor: to offer a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly, be heard without judgement, and begin to build confidence and resilience in your own way and at your own pace.
Counselling with me isn’t about quick fixes or pressure, it’s about walking alongside you, helping you explore what matters most, and supporting you as you move towards greater clarity and peace of mind.
You don’t need to arrive with a clear idea of what you want to talk about. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by a specific issue, struggling with something more general, or just feeling stuck or uncertain, you're welcome exactly as you are.
Professional therapist credentials and insurance
I am fully insured and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy which means I have achieved a nationally recognised standard of qualifications and experience. You can verify this through the BACP Register. My registration number is 151434 and BACP Membership 00706261.
I hold a current Enhanced DBS check.
My experience and values
I’ve worked with people facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, work stress, health concerns, and major life transitions. Whatever you bring, you will be met with warmth, honesty, and respect.
My values are at the heart of how I work. I believe in the importance of empathy, truly understanding your world from your perspective; authenticity, being genuine and real in our work together; and trust, creating a space where you feel safe to explore what matters most to you.
I aim to support you in discovering what feels right for you, helping you build greater trust in yourself and your own decisions.
I offer both in-person sessions in Whitefield / Radcliffe and online sessions across the UK, depending on what feels right for you.
Where I am based
I offer face-to-face sessions in Whitefield / Radcliffe in a comfortable, private setting with parking available. If you can’t come in person, online sessions are a flexible way to access support from anywhere in the UK.
