Jennie Holloway

Jennie Holloway is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has over six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting and family concerns, self-esteem problems, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleeping difficulties, ADHD and questions about life purpose. Jennie also addresses issues such as abandonment, control problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and midlife change.

She has worked in a pupil referral unit providing counselling to parents and children who cannot attend mainstream school. That role exposed her to a wide range of emotional difficulties including depression, anger, bereavement, refusal, abuse and trauma. Earlier work included Drawing and Talking therapy, which informed her practice with children and young people.

Jennie describes herself as an integrative counsellor and uses Person-Centred approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. She adopts a largely non-directive way of working, believing the client knows themselves best while offering practical tools when they are needed.

Sessions focus on making sense of present problems and past experiences that affect day-to-day life. Jennie aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes and develop coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and relationship issues. She also supports practical concerns like sleeping and managing compulsive thoughts.

Her practice includes work with young people and adults, and she offers counselling informed by her own experience of grief and recovery. If someone is unsure what exactly is wrong, she will help them to clarify what to work on and decide the next steps together.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a calm listener to make sense of feelings and consider next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce worry, improve sleep and manage compulsive thoughts. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce stress and improve moment-to-moment noticing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennie will discuss different methods and agree what to try based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She works collaboratively, checking in about what is helpful and adjusting the focus over time.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy day, avoiding travel and making regular short appointments easier to schedule. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, as options were not listed in the profile. Registered or accredited professionals can run effective therapy remotely, and Jennie will help plan sessions in a way that fits everyday life and commitments.
