About Jennie

Jennie Walmsley helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and the after-effects of trauma and sexual abuse, using an integrative way of working that adapts to each person. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience in counselling practice.

She describes herself as an integrative counsellor, which means she draws on several approaches rather than following a single method. That allows her to focus on what a person says they need and adjust techniques as sessions progress. She also has experience as a coach and trainer from a previous broadcasting career, and brings those communication skills into her work.

Sessions typically involve talking through feelings, identifying patterns, and working on practical steps to manage stress or anxiety. For people affected by past sexual assault and abuse, she provides steady, focused support and helps them think about next steps at a manageable pace. She also works with issues such as workplace problems, relationship communication, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Her background in coaching means she can offer practical exercises for improving confidence and professional communication when that is relevant. Jennie uses straightforward language in sessions and aims to help people gain clearer understanding of themselves and their choices.

Jennie practises in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English. Her practice follows the ethical framework of the BACP and she brings three years of counselling experience to her work.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Jennie describes herself as an integrative counsellor, which means she blends evidence-based techniques to match what a person needs. That might include traditional talking therapies to help process difficult memories and practical cognitive or behavioural techniques to manage stress and anxiety symptoms.

For trauma and sexual abuse survivors she focuses on steady, paced work that helps people make sense of what happened and consider steps for recovery. For workplace and communication issues she draws on coaching skills to develop clearer ways of speaking and acting in professional settings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work in sessions. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try, reviewing progress as they go. This collaborative process helps shape later sessions and keeps the work relevant to what the person wants to achieve.

The practical benefits of remote counselling depend on the formats Jennie offers. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking; this will tell you whether sessions are by video, phone or another method. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
