About Jennie
Counsellor and member of the BACP with NCPS registration, Jennie Holloway has six years of experience working with a wide range of emotional difficulties. She lists stress, anxiety, parenting and family issues, self‑esteem problems, trauma and addiction among her areas of practice. She works with both young people and adults and accepts international clients.
Jennie practises in a person-centred way while also drawing on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. That means sessions often begin with listening to what matters most to the client. From there she and the client look at practical steps, thought patterns and small skills to manage feelings or behaviour.
Her background includes work in a pupil referral unit offering counselling to parents and children who were unable to attend mainstream school. That role exposed her to complex issues such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, low self‑esteem, refusal, abuse and trauma. She has also used Drawing and Talking therapy in earlier roles.
Jennie speaks from personal experience of grief and says that experience contributed to her decision to become a counsellor. She describes an integrative approach, combining Person‑Centred, CBT and psychodynamic ideas to suit the individual. Sessions are non-directive in tone, with the client’s perspective guiding the work.
She aims to help clients understand themselves better and to develop practical ways to cope. Many clients bring relationship problems, sleep issues, ADHD concerns, midlife questions or struggles with guilt, control or obsessive thoughts. Jennie asks people to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Jennie combines person‑centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness in online work. Person‑centred practice focuses on hearing what matters most and reflecting it back, which helps with feelings of sadness, low self‑esteem and difficult life events. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces practical steps to change them, often used for anxiety, obsessions and mood problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce stress and improve sleep and emotional regulation.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Jennie will discuss options with the client and choose methods that suit their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. The process is collaborative and may combine listening, practical tasks and brief exercises between sessions.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Generally, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible scheduling to help sessions fit into everyday routines.
