About Jenny
Counsellor Jenny Rudd is a BACP member with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and LGBT concerns among other issues. Jenny offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally in English.
Jenny listens to what is getting in the way of day-to-day life. She asks about thoughts, feelings and the practical problems people face. She helps challenge unhelpful beliefs and teaches coping strategies. Sessions include time to consider values and build confidence.
Her work often covers bereavement and relationship strain. She has experience supporting people with issues around gender and sexual relationship diversity. She also helps with parenting pressures, career stress, anger and long-term health or pain concerns.
Jenny uses several common counselling approaches to guide her work. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to notice values, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change thinking patterns. Attachment-based and client-centred ways of working shape how she listens and responds in sessions.
People who choose telephone or online sessions do so for practical reasons. Jenny has supported clients across the UK and overseas by telephone and online. Before booking, the reader should confirm the current session options and any local considerations that matter to them.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take steps towards those values. It can support people who feel stuck, anxious or lacking purpose by focusing on actions rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It teaches practical techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to try different responses, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the approach can be adjusted as needs change.
Jenny has carried out telephone and online work with people in the UK and overseas. The reader should confirm current session formats before booking. Online or telephone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when that is helpful.
