About Me
I'm Jen, a person-centred counsellor working with adults from Northwich Town Centre, Cheshire as well as remotely from anywhere in the UK.
​
I work with many different issues and have extensive experience of working with issues surrounding domestic violence, sexual abuse, historic childhood abuse, suicidal thoughts and feelings, PTSD, and self harm.
​
As well as my private work, I also volunteer for an organisation providing counselling to survivors of abuse, predominently childhood sexual abuse.
I am fully insured, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psycotherapy (BACP), and have a clear enhanced DBS Certificate.
​
Prior to my counselling training I worked for over 20 years with people with learning difficulties, autism, physical disabilities and the elderly, and I love that I am still able to make a difference to the lives of people in my work as a counsellor. I decided to begin my journey as a trainee counsellor after I myself realised through counselling that I didn't need to 'hold it all in', recognising that talking about things really does help.

'People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, 'Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner. ' I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.'
(Carl Rogers - founder of person centred counselling)
