I am currently available on Saturdays. I offer in-person sessions in a very special space in Gosforth, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. For those of you who benefit from the cosy containment of a traditional counselling room, this is provided, alongside an adjoining studio space for those of you who may benefit from being able to get up and stretch during a session. I also offer online sessions on Microsoft Teams.

Welcome! I'm Jen. I’m a Íø±¬ÃÅ-registered and UKCP-accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor offering both short- and long-term therapy for adults (18+). My approach is grounded in Transactional Analysis (TA), which focuses on helping you understand yourself and your relationships at a deeper level so you can create lasting change.

While my core modality is Transactional Analysis, I work integratively, drawing from existential, person-centred, Gestalt, compassion-focused, and solution-focused approaches. This means your therapy is tailored to you, to your pace, your goals, and your unique way of experiencing the world.

In psychotherapeutic counselling, the relationship between us will form the foundation of the work we do together. My role is to offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where all your feelings are welcome. Together, we’ll explore not only what’s happening for you right now, but also the experiences and patterns that may be shaping your present struggles.

If you’ve tried CBT or other structured therapies before, this may feel quite different. Our sessions will be more open and exploratory, sometimes challenging at first, but often deeply rewarding as you begin to find your own voice and uncover what truly matters to you. Many clients describe this process as finally having space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.

I offer a free 15 minute introductory telephone call in which I can tell you more about how I work and you can ask any questions about the arrangements for counselling before committing to an initial assessment.

In the initial assessment, I will gather some important information for the purpose of counselling, before exploring what prompted you to seek help now and what your expectations are. Initial assessments are charged at £50.00 for 50 minutes.
