About Jen
Jen (Jennifer) Luby is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, self-esteem and career matters. Jen also lists blended family issues and caregiver stress among her focus areas.
Jen uses a person-centred and relational approach. She combines that with trauma-aware ways of working to help people name what is happening and decide on practical next steps. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual rather than rushed forward.
She has experience supporting people who identify as neurodivergent, including autistic people and those with ADHD. She also works with people from LGBT+ communities and from a range of social backgrounds. The emphasis is on respecting how each person experiences and makes sense of the world.
Jen trained in counselling at the University of Cumbria, holds a First-Class Honours degree from the University of Central Lancashire, and completed a Postgraduate Diploma with Merit at the University of Leeds. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
In sessions she listens, reflects and helps people to explore patterns that are keeping them stuck. That might mean practising clearer communication, planning small changes, or finding ways to manage overwhelming feelings. She keeps learning through regular supervision and ongoing professional development.
Practical steps to begin are simple: choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book a first appointment to see how the work can fit into everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Jen describes her work as person-centred and relational, and she uses trauma-aware practices. A person-centred approach means the counsellor follows the person's lead, offering reflection and questions that help someone make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, and decisions about family or work.A relational approach focuses on how people connect with others. It looks at patterns in relationships and communication, which can be useful for resolving repeated conflicts or improving boundaries in blended households. Trauma-aware practice recognises how past harm affects responses now and uses slower pacing and grounding techniques when needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a way of working together based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed package.
Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or fitting a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also allow people to choose quieter times and reduce time away from home when juggling stepfamily routines.
