“From our first session Jen created a safe environment for me to talk about any issues I was having without judgement. Even things that I was worried might be small issues, or seen as being silly, Jen would value everything I was saying and never make me feel like my feelings were invalid. Jen has helped me talk through feelings I was struggling with at work and mentally I am in a much happier and positive position after our sessions together”.

“Working with Jen as my therapist was initially a step into the unknown, filled with apprehension. However, from our very first session, she created an environment where I felt at ease to share my thoughts. With each meeting, I've felt a growing sense of empowerment and self-awareness. Through our discussions, I've gained insights into the dynamics of my relationships, understanding their nature and depth. I've also confronted long-held feelings towards my father, emotions my sibling addressed years ago, but I'm only coming to terms with now. With Jen's guidance, I've achieved a clearer understanding of my choices in relationships and a newfound confidence in my professional environment".
"Jen has an extraordinary ability of being able to understand what others are going through and the empathy you convey makes it easy to trust and speak to you".
"I feel you are an empathic person. There is a softness to you which is engaging. I feel you have a natural gift for making space for others to feel safe and heard. You are not judgemental in the slightest. You are cognizant of your own issues and do not let them get in the way during therapeutic work. When you listen, you make the person speaking feel they are the only other person in the room".
"Jen was brilliant as my counsellor and treated me like an equal throughout the process. She also referred me to additional materials and content such as attachment styles in relationships which were eye opening to me".
"I think you would be open and tentative, and seriously interested in your client’s world. I feel that you would be informed by theory and by your training, but that it would be your kinaesthetic understanding and awareness that would guide your immediate interactions. I think your clients would find themselves exploring difficult territory in an emotionally supporting environment – having surprising conversations that feed their development processes".

"I have experienced you as a warm, kind, and gentle individual who always shows empathy towards others. In all our interactions, you have been compassionate and understanding of my views and my experiences, you have never judged me when I expressed fears and concerns relating to certain demographic groups, you acknowledged my feelings in relation to the reasoning behind my concerns. Your ability to engage with others in this way is a natural gift you possess as part of who you are".
