Jennie Holloway , NCPS

Jennie Holloway is a UK-based counsellor with more than six years of professional experience, working with children, young people and adults facing a wide range of emotional challenges. She holds NCPS accreditation, a professional counselling accreditation that reflects recognised training and membership in a counselling body. Her clinical background includes work in a pupil referral unit where she provided counselling to both parents and children unable to attend mainstream school, gaining experience with complex presentations such as depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, bereavement, school refusal, abuse and trauma.

Earlier in her career Jennie practised Drawing and Talking therapy and her own experience of grief inspired her to support others through similar struggles. She trained as an integrative counsellor in Person-Centred, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic approaches, and adapts her way of working to suit each person she meets. Working in a non-directive manner, Jennie recognises that clients are the experts on their own lives and aims to help them better understand their thoughts, feelings and patterns.

Jennie has broad experience with young people and adults and tailors each session to individual needs. She offers a supported, non-judgemental space to explore past and present difficulties and to think about where a client is and where they want to be. For those feeling overwhelmed by the first steps toward counselling, Jennie emphasizes that seeking help can be the start of meaningful change and personal growth.

Client-Centered, CBT, and Mindfulness Delivered Online

Jennie uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach focuses on empathy, active listening and helping people explore their own values and goals, which can be useful for issues such as self-esteem, relationship challenges and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to build practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, sleeping problems and compulsive behaviours. CBT offers structured tools and exercises that clients can apply between sessions to notice change.

Mindfulness therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, supporting stress reduction, improved focus and emotional regulation. Jennie combines these approaches as needed and works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists can tailor techniques over time, adjusting the focus as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging depending on what feels most accessible. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of care even when circumstances change.
