About Jenny

Jenny Doig is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 22 years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Jenny focuses on practical support for common life pressures like stress, anxiety, grief and anger. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion from the first contact.

Her approach is conversational and tailored. Sessions are shaped to a person’s needs and current situation. She uses listening, questions and offered techniques to help people make small changes that add up over time.

Jenny draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how past relationships influence current feelings and patterns. She also uses client-centred ways of working to keep the conversation centred on the person and their priorities. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used where helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different actions.

Her experience includes supporting people with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction and codependency, trauma and abuse, and challenges such as eating or sleeping problems. She also works with career stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD related difficulties.

People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style may find her approach suits them. Jenny aims to work at a pace that feels manageable and to help people develop tools to cope with day-to-day life and major changes.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and feelings. In sessions this can mean tracing how trust, boundaries or fear of abandonment show up now and trying different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on a person’s own goals and experiences, giving space to be heard and to guide the topics each week. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will explore a person’s needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps ensure sessions feel relevant and useful rather than following a fixed protocol.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks. It can also make it simpler to use written exercises, screen-shared worksheets or short recorded mindfulness practices between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods to suit each person’s circumstances and goals.
