A specialist who understands the whole picture

I'm Jenna — a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, and also, underneath the letters after my name, just a person who's done a fair amount of living. I'm a mother. I've rebuilt my life more than once when things didn't go to plan. And I know, from personal experience and not just training, what it actually takes to sit with discomfort and choose to do something differently.

Professionally, I have over 15 years' experience in mental health, working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and the kind of life transitions that quietly reshape who we are — pregnancy, early parenthood, separation, and everything in between.

What draws me to this work is more than qualifications. I understand first-hand what it means to break a pattern you didn't choose, to set a boundary that once felt impossible, and to rebuild a sense of self when life hasn't gone the way you expected. I don't bring my own story into sessions — that space is yours — but it's a large part of why this work matters so much to me. If you're curious, I've written a little more about my own journey on the blog.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you've been coping on your own for a long time. You're not expected to have everything figured out before you start — I certainly didn't, and in many ways, still don't. That's rather the point.

Outside of the therapy room, I'm usually keeping up with my own children and trying — with mixed success, like everyone else — to actually practise the boundaries and rest I spend my working hours encouraging in other people.
