About Jenny

Jenny Doig is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 22 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, and anger. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with life changes.

Jenny uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques. She listens to what matters most and then discusses ways to try. Sessions focus on manageable steps rather than long lectures. Many people come to talk about repeated patterns, attachment worries, or the strain of changing household roles.

Her background includes client-centred and attachment-based approaches. She also draws on cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness to help with day-to-day coping. This mix lets her work with thoughts, emotions and relationship patterns in simple, concrete ways.

Jenny often helps people who are dealing with bereavement, career stress, ADHD challenges, or the practical friction of blended family issues. She will talk through what a typical session might look like and agree on goals together. Her practice aims to be steady and practical for people with busy lives.

Sessions aim to address immediate problems and build skills for future difficulties. She invites straightforward discussion about what has been tried already and what a person wants to change. To begin, the site’s booking route asks a few questions, then you can schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships affect current ones. It helps when people notice repeated patterns in trust, closeness or conflict. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping a person lead the conversation. It supports people who want time to reflect and decide what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change reactions and reduce anxiety.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust the approach as you see what helps. This is a collaborative decision based on your needs and preferences.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow check-ins from a quieter place. Different formats suit different needs - for example shorter phone check-ins can fit a lunch break, while video calls let you use visual aids and worksheets. Check the booking information to see the available options and choose what fits your routine.
