Personal approach
Hi, I'm Jennifer and I am a fully qualified Integrative counsellor and psychosexual therapist with over twelve years of experience. I work face-to-face from The Maltings in Stanstead Abbotts, Hertfordshire. I also work at the Therapeutic rooms on Brick Lane, London.
Integrative counselling essentially means I combine different theories and ways of working to suit the person in front of me. I have also had in-depth training in psychosexual and relationship therapy – both for individuals and couples.
I am a qualified yoga instructor and offer one to one yoga sessions, with a therapeutic focus. Working with the body to release tension and emotions is just as important as making sense of your cognitive expereince.
Part of my therapy work is focusing on the repetitive patterns that may be operating on an unconscious level. Patterns that we recreate from the past, but that perhaps are no longer helpful now. It can take time and patience not only to notice these patterns, but to change them. Through our relationship I hope to bring these patterns into awareness, which I believe can be healing and promote change.
