She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment ideas, and client-centred listening to shape each session.

Sessions can include values work, mindfulness-style exercises from ACT, and reflective conversation that centres the client’s experience.

How sessions work
How her approaches adapt to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and for behaviours such as process addictions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. It helps with intimacy-related problems, abandonment fears and repeated conflict in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful listening and reflecting back what the client says so they can better understand their feelings and choices.Jenny treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, try a method for a few sessions, and then adjust based on what helps. This means therapy can change over time to suit different issues or stages of recovery.
The source biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel, allow quieter or shorter check-ins, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps. Appropriately qualified therapists offer a range of ways to connect; Jenny will discuss which approach and format best suit practical needs and personal preferences during the intake.
