About me
I’m Jennifer, an integrative psychotherapist originally from Canada and now based in the UK. I work mainly online with adults who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in old patterns, or like they’ve lost touch with themselves. Many of the people I work with are those who have spent years holding everything together for others and are now finding themselves asking, “Why does everything feel so hard?”
My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and neuro-affirming. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human relationship rather than a performance. You don’t need to arrive with the right words, have everything figured out, or present a polished version of yourself. Together, we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface, understand your experiences with compassion, and find ways forward that feel right for you.
I have a particular interest in supporting people navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, identity changes, grief, life transitions, and neurodivergent experiences such as ADHD, autism, masking, and sensory overwhelm. I draw on my own lived experience with dyslexia to help create a space where different ways of thinking and being are understood and respected.
Before becoming a therapist, I studied music, and creativity still influences how I work. I’m drawn to metaphor, imagery, storytelling, and the ways we sometimes understand ourselves before we have the words. I believe therapy does not always need to be about analysing everything; sometimes we find insight through curiosity, imagination, and exploring things from a different perspective.
Outside of therapy, I’m a cat person with two rescue cats, a lover of long walks and nature, and someone who still dreams of living in the woods one day. I value honesty and warmth over perfection, and I believe the most meaningful therapeutic work happens when people feel safe enough to be fully themselves.

Approach
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be yourself. I don’t believe there is a “right” way to do therapy, and you don’t need to arrive with a clear explanation of what’s wrong. We can start wherever you are.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw from different approaches including person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, mindfulness, and somatic-informed work. This means therapy is adapted to you rather than expecting you to fit into a particular model.
Together, we can explore emotions, patterns, relationships, past experiences, and the things that may be keeping you feeling stuck. My role is not to tell you who to be or provide quick fixes, but to offer curiosity, compassion, and a space where you can develop greater understanding, self-trust, and connection with yourself.
Experience
I have experience working as an integrative psychotherapist across private practice, community services, and online therapy settings. I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, trauma, grief, life transitions, identity questions, relationship difficulties, and feelings of being stuck or disconnected from themselves.
My work is grounded in ethical practice, the therapeutic relationship, and adapting support to each person’s individual needs. I have particular experience supporting neurodivergent adults, including those exploring ADHD, autism, masking, sensory overwhelm, and the impact of feeling different in a world that does not always accommodate them.
I continue to develop my practice through ongoing learning, reflection, and professional development as a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
