About Jenny

Jenny Rudd is a BACP counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She supports those feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck by listening, reflecting and offering practical ways to cope. Jenny works with issues including relationship difficulties, grief, LGBT concerns, parenting pressures, and challenges around intimacy and career direction.

She uses a range of talking approaches to suit each person. In sessions she encourages clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, challenge unhelpful beliefs and learn new skills. Jenny aims to build self-confidence and help people reconnect with what matters to them.

Her experience includes supporting people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She has worked with clients dealing with bereavement, relationship breakdowns and gender and sexual relationship diversity concerns via telephone and online sessions. This background informs a calm, non-judgemental way of working.

Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding feelings. Jenny offers a warm space to talk openly and to set achievable goals. She adapts her approach to the person in front of her and can use techniques from cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, attachment-based and dialectical behaviour approaches where helpful.

If someone wants tailored support, Jenny will work with them to identify values, coping strategies and small changes that add up. She invites clients to take the next step when they feel ready and to shape a counselling plan that fits their life.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help with intimacy and communication concerns.

Finding the right approach is usually a process. The counsellor discusses your goals and preferences and will suggest methods that fit your situation. You and the counsellor work together to try approaches and adjust them as needed until something feels helpful.

Jenny has offered online and telephone sessions to people in the UK and internationally. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Telephone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and other formats may suit those who travel for work.
