About me
Welcome. I'm Jen Black - a Psychotherapist on the path to UKCP accreditation. My approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Hypnotherapy to achieve long-term, transformative results. I specialise in working with trauma, addiction, and anxiety, while also supporting clients in areas such as stress management, confidence building, and enhancing creativity.
As an expat based in Berlin, I run an online private Psychotherapy practice serving international clients. Before training as a Therapist, I was an Executive Creative Director, leading large teams for 45+ global brands since 1996. My background in art and media has equipped me with strong creative, leadership, and mentoring skills, alongside a deep understanding of the challenges in balancing professional and personal lives.
I believe therapy is both a form of creativity and activism, and I’m passionate about working with members of creative, FLINTA*, BIPOC, and expat communities. I help clients build confidence, harness their emotional intelligence, and break free from negative conditioning.
In our sessions, you can expect a blend of humour, compassion, and structured, goal-oriented solutions. My goal is to help you create positive change, heal from trauma, and break free from unhealthy habits. Through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, and Hypnotherapy, we can reverse negative thoughts, behaviours, and patterns, building healthier lives and relationships. Together, we’ll explore, uncover, and identify challenges, working towards greater clarity and simplicity.

I hold an MSc Integrative Therapy from London Metropolitan University, and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Advanced Patterns in Psychotherapy from the UKCP Awaken School of Outcome Oriented Psychotherapies. I trained as an EMDR Practitioner at Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute and am a member of EMDRIA International. My Advanced Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (UKCHH) is recognised by the British Psychological Society. As I work toward 2026 UKCP accreditation, I follow the UKCP code of ethics and standards, continuously developing my practice under the guidance of a certified UKCP supervisor. I am also a Volunteer Psychotherapist at Cadus and Sea Watch, where I support activists facing mental health challenges in crisis situations.
