About Jennie
Jennie Holloway is a counsellor with six years of professional experience. She holds NCPS credential, and works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and parenting challenges. Jennie aims to make the first steps into counselling feel manageable and compassionate for anyone who is unsure where to begin.
She draws on client-centred methods to create a listening space where the person guides the conversation. Jennie also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and practical steps to change it.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are introduced when helpful to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. Jennie has worked in a pupil referral unit providing counselling to parents and children unable to attend mainstream school. That role exposed her to a wide range of emotional issues including bereavement, refusal to attend school, abuse, trauma, anger and depression.
Earlier work included Drawing and Talking therapy, which informs her flexible, creative style. Her own experience of grief motivated her to train as a counsellor and shaped a compassionate, down-to-earth approach. She adapts each session to the person in front of her and avoids one-size-fits-all techniques.
Sessions focus on practical coping strategies as well as understanding feelings. Jennie helps people think about where they are now and what they would like to change, offering steady support for life transitions, relationship concerns and parenting strain.

How these approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead and offers a supportive space to talk. This approach helps people who need time to make sense of feelings and to be heard without judgement.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses small practical steps and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and ease anxiety or low mood. CBT suits people who want concrete strategies to test between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. It can be used alongside other approaches to manage stress, sleeping problems and racing thoughts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals, try different tools and agree what feels most useful. This makes therapy flexible and tailored to changing needs.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let the conversation feel close to an in-person session. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or who want support between calls. These options make counselling more flexible for busy schedules and different comfort levels.
