About Jenny
Jenny Rudd is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and parenting pressures. She also works with issues around self-esteem, LGBT concerns, trauma, depression and life changes.
Jenny listens and talks through what is worrying you. She encourages clients to name troubling thoughts and to try new coping skills. She works collaboratively to challenge unhelpful beliefs and to build confidence step by step.
Her approach draws on a mix of practical methods. Jenny uses acceptance and commitment ideas alongside cognitive behavioural tools to help manage difficult feelings. She also uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to look at how relationships shape current struggles.
She has experience supporting people with bereavement and with LGBT relationship and gender diversity concerns. She has worked with clients living in the UK and internationally by telephone and online. Jenny has also supported people facing chronic health challenges, caring responsibilities and blended family issues.
Sessions aim to identify immediate coping strategies and longer term personal goals. Jenny helps people explore values and make changes that matter to them. To begin, she asks a few questions and schedules an initial session to agree what to focus on.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Jenny uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without being ruled by them and to clarify what matters most in life. ACT can be useful when someone feels stuck or wants to rebuild a sense of purpose.She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early and current relationships affect trust, closeness and conflict. This approach is often helpful for people dealing with intimacy concerns, abandonment worries or recurring patterns in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will discuss options and try different methods together to see what fits your goals and preferences. The choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking. The biography notes she has worked online and by telephone with clients in the UK and internationally, so check the available session formats when you arrange a first meeting. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties or travel, and telephone check-ins can be shorter when needed.
