About Jenny
Jenny Rudd offers help for stress, anxiety, relationship worries, grief and questions about identity. She welcomes people facing low self-esteem, life changes, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, anger or feeling lost. Jenny is a BACP counsellor who has worked with people in the UK and internationally.
She uses a warm, straightforward style and aims to make the first steps easier to take. Jenny listens without judgement and gives people space to describe what feels hard.
How Jenny works
She helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and finds practical ways to manage them. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. Her approach draws on several methods, including acceptance and commitment work, attachment-informed thinking, client-centred listening, cognitive techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour approaches.
She tailors sessions to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. That means setting goals together and choosing tools that fit the situation. Jenny has five years of experience supporting people with bereavement, relationship issues and concerns linked to LGBT identities.
She also works with people facing chronic health problems, caregiving stress, career pressure and trauma-related difficulties. Wherever the concern starts, sessions aim to help people move toward clearer values and more reliable coping. Online and phone sessions are part of her practice, which has let her support clients who live outside the UK.
The emphasis is on practical skills, honest listening and helping people find meaning and direction in everyday life.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and connect with what matters most. It uses simple exercises to build commitment to valued actions, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions the counsellor helps clients recognise attachment reactions and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected, useful for relationship difficulties and intimacy concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the work stays collaborative and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility so people can use the format that fits their day. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports short ongoing contact. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caretaking or travel while keeping the focus on skills, reflection and steady progress.
