About Jenny

Jenny Doig is a BACP-registered counsellor with 22 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, anger and depression, and she also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns. Jenny speaks English and approaches each person with respect and compassion.

Her practice focuses on tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs. She helps people talk through family conflict, cope with loss, manage addictive behaviours, and handle changes such as career shifts or health challenges. She also addresses areas like self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, attention difficulties, and ageing and geriatric issues.

Jenny draws on several therapeutic styles to suit different problems. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She works in a client-centred way, listening closely and following the person’s pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used for concrete strategies around thoughts and behaviour.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Jenny aims to build trust, clarify goals and try out small changes between meetings. She also brings mindfulness and existential perspectives when people are wrestling with meaning or overwhelm.

She encourages taking the first step and will adapt the approach as needs change. To begin, prospective clients are invited to use the Start Therapy workflow and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online support

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, helping people understand patterns in close connections and in stress responses. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person’s priorities, helping them find their own pace and solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) gives practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try behavioural experiments to change routine reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to focus on. This is a collaborative discussion and the plan can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online working, please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes. Ask about available formats when you start the matching process so you can pick arrangements that suit your routine.
