About Jennifer
Jennifer Hughes is a counsellor who offers a warm, down-to-earth space for adults ready to make changes. She introduces herself simply as Jen and brings three years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also works with people facing trauma, addiction and codependency concerns. Jen aims to help clients notice how their thinking and behaviour affect daily life and to build practical steps forward.
Her style is relaxed and compassionate. She listens without judgement and meets people where they are. Sessions focus on helping clients set healthier boundaries, understand attachment and abandonment patterns, and begin prioritising their needs. That might mean learning new ways to communicate, managing intense feelings, or working through past hurt.
Jennifer uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person. She draws on client-centred work to follow the person’s lead and on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking. She also integrates psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas when early experiences or traumatic memories are part of the story.
Jen identifies as queer and neurodivergent and aims to create an accepting environment for varied identities and experiences. She describes herself as trauma-informed and feminist in outlook. Her manner is straightforward and gentle, and she encourages small, steady steps as progress.
Sessions are arranged through the site process, starting with a short matching questionnaire. Costs vary with location and the subscription model used, which can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s priorities at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows what matters most to the client, offering reflection and support to help people make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress; this can help with anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits. Psychodynamic ideas focus on how early relationships and unconscious patterns shape current behaviour and can be useful when attachment or abandonment issues are present.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and try methods that fit each person’s goals and preferences. This is done collaboratively, with adjustments made as progress and needs become clearer.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend regular check-ins and to use short or focused sessions when needed. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm which options are offered before booking. The aim is to make therapy accessible and useful within everyday life, while adapting methods to suit individual circumstances.
