Jen (Jennifer) Luby offers support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and ageing and geriatric issues. Her approach aims to help people find clarity and practical ways forward in everyday life.

Jen uses a person-centred, relational, and trauma-informed style. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each individual. She listens for what matters most and helps people make small changes that add up over time.

She has experience supporting neurodivergent people, including autistic people and those with ADHD, and works in ways that respect different communication styles. She also seeks to be affirming of LGBTQ+ identities and mindful of how social and class background shape people’s experiences.

Jen trained in counselling at the University of Cumbria and holds a First-Class Honours degree from the University of Central Lancashire. She completed a Postgraduate Diploma with Merit from the University of Leeds and is a BACP member. She takes part in regular supervision and ongoing professional learning to keep her practice current.

In sessions she focuses on helping people reclaim agency and build self-worth. Conversations tend to centre on concrete steps, clearer thinking about choices, and finding ways to reconnect to purpose and relationships. She aims to offer a respectful space where people feel heard and can move toward greater clarity and connection.

How Jen’s approaches work in online therapy

Person-centred work focuses on the individual’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead, helping them articulate what matters and decide next steps. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to be heard and to build self-understanding.

Trauma-informed practice pays attention to safety, pacing, and the impact of past harm. It aims to avoid re-traumatising and to support gradual steps toward feeling more able to cope. This is often useful for people who have experienced abuse, loss, or ongoing stressors.

Finding the right way to work is a shared process. Jen will discuss different approaches with each person and adapt methods to match goals, needs, and preferences. The plan can change as things move on, with the client helping to shape the direction.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, caregiving, or limited travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to attend from wherever you are in the UK. The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
