How Jen uses evidence-based approaches online
Jen describes her work as integrative with a person-centred core. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, reflecting and helping someone make sense of their own experience. It is useful for people who want a space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions.Integrative practice means she blends other evidence-based techniques when useful. This might include structured ways of working on specific problems, such as coping strategies for addiction or tools for grief and adjustment. Those methods aim to give practical steps alongside emotional support.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust the way of working as needs change. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques suit the situation and pace.
The biography notes she offers online and telephone sessions as well as face-to-face, but does not list exact options here, so please confirm formats before booking. Online and telephone sessions can help fit counselling into a busy day, make shorter check-ins easier, or avoid travel. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to reach people who cannot attend in person, while matching the approach to each client's needs.
