About Jennie
Jennie Holloway is a counsellor registered with NCPS with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem and parenting concerns, and her listed focus also includes trauma, addiction and sleeping problems. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Jennie draws on client-centred principles alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness ideas. She adapts how she works to the person in front of her rather than using a single fixed method. That means practical conversation, noticing patterns of thought and behaviour, and trying short practices that can help reduce worry or improve sleep.
Her background includes working in a pupil referral unit where she offered counselling to parents and children unable to attend mainstream school. That role exposed her to a wide range of emotional issues such as bereavement, refusal to attend, abuse, low self-esteem and anger. She also has experience using Drawing and Talking therapy earlier in her career.
Jennie says her own experience of grief influenced her decision to become a counsellor. She now supports people coping with life changes, relationship strains, intimacy worries, and the everyday pressures of parenting. She also works with concerns around ADHD, obsessive thoughts, personality difficulties and issues tied to money or midlife transitions.
Her style is non-directive and practical. She tends to listen first, help spot unhelpful patterns and then try manageable steps that feel doable. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Client-Centred work puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing and helps the client make sense of feelings and decisions. This approach is useful for parenting stress, grief and low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour that feed anxiety or depression. In short practical exercises, clients learn to test unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping with stress or sleep problems.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to reduce rumination and help with overwhelm. These practices can also support better sleep and reduce impulsive reactions linked to addictions or emotional highs and lows.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then try methods that fit the person’s day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and pacing.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment is not possible. Registered professionals can often adapt sessions to suit quieter schedules, lower bandwidth or brief workplace breaks.
