About Jenny

Jenny Doig works with stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief, anger and related concerns using a mix of talking and practical approaches. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 22 years of professional experience.

Jenny introduces herself in straightforward terms and focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. She adapts discussions and plans to the person in front of her, and uses different methods depending on the issue. Sessions are described in everyday language and aim to be direct and useful.

Her background includes long clinical experience across common difficulties such as depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and problems with sleep and eating. She also works with concerns linked to parenting, career pressures, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she attends to include bereavement, divorce and separation, and concerns around body image and attachment.

Jenny draws on several counselling approaches to guide her work. These include attachment-based ideas about relationships, client-centred ways of working that focus on the person, and cognitive behavioural techniques for noticing and changing patterns of thought and behaviour. She also uses elements of existential and mindfulness practice where these fit the clients needs.

Her style is practical and conversational. She will discuss aims and adjust methods as therapy progresses. People who come to her can expect clear discussion of problems, options for change, and follow-up on what is agreed between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns that form in close connections; online sessions can look at how past relationship experiences affect current feelings and behaviour. Client-centred work places the persons perspective at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify aims and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and tests small changes, which can be practised and reviewed between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods best match a persons situation, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practical tasks between sessions, such as trying out new behaviours in everyday settings and feeding back at the next appointment. When you start, you will be able to discuss what format and rhythm of sessions suit your life and what to expect from the chosen approach.
