About Jenny

Jenny Rudd is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, relationship strain and grief. She welcomes those feeling stuck, exhausted or unsure of their next step and offers calm, practical support to work through those feelings.

Background and approach

She listens without judgement and gives space to talk about what matters. Sessions focus on exploring thoughts and feelings, gently challenging unhelpful beliefs, and practising new coping skills.

The aim is to build confidence and find clearer direction. Jenny uses a blend of approaches suited to each person.

She draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thought patterns, and attachment‑based thinking to understand closeness and trust. She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client‑centred ways of working when these fit the situation.

Her practice includes online and telephone counselling, and she has supported people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Jenny has particular experience with LGBTQ+ concerns, bereavement and relationship issues, and she works with a wide range of life challenges including parenting, career change, chronic illness and trauma.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals. Jenny offers straightforward guidance, practical tools and a warm, non‑judgemental space to try things out.

She encourages clients to take small steps towards clearer values and more manageable day‑to‑day life.

Approaches to online counselling and relationship work

Jenny draws on the Gottman Method to support relationship issues, using practical exercises and communication tools to help people understand patterns and improve connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and to act towards what matters most. Attachment‑based ideas help explore how people form bonds and how past experiences shape trust and closeness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and goal‑focused.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and use interactive exercises, while phone sessions can fit into a break at work or suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check‑ins, ongoing coaching and making it easier to keep momentum between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals offer these options so therapy can fit around daily life.
