About Jenny
Counsellor Jenny Doig is a BACP-registered practitioner with 22 years of work in the UK. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family matters, grief, anger and mood issues. Her day-to-day work also covers relationship problems, addictions and a range of intimacy and wellbeing concerns.
Jenny keeps sessions straightforward and direct. She listens to what people bring and uses approaches that fit the problem. That may mean focusing on patterns from early relationships, practical steps to change thinking and behaviour, or exercises to increase present-moment awareness.
People often come for help with sleep, eating, parenting pressures, career crossroads or coping with big life changes. She also works with issues linked to attachment, body image, bereavement and trauma. Jenny names ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue among topics she can address alongside more common problems.
Her practice draws on client-centred ways of working that foreground the person’s experience. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to test and shift unhelpful thoughts. Attachment-based thinking helps when relationship patterns cause ongoing distress.
Sessions are intended to be practical and readable. Jenny will discuss what you hope to change and make a plan with clear steps. If you want to know more about how she works or how to book, use the site’s contact route to see the online counselling options and the short matching questionnaire.
Approaches used in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in early relationships and how they affect current connections. It can help when repeated relationship difficulties or trust issues are causing distress.Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what comes up, helping the client make sense of their feelings and choices.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, explores links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It provides practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills for anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on what to try first. That plan can be adjusted as sessions progress, so the work stays relevant and practical.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video. The emphasis is on finding a way of meeting that fits everyday life and the practical constraints someone has.
