Jennie Holloway, NCPS

Jennie Holloway uses a client-centred way of working to help people feel heard and understood. She is NCPS credentialed and has six years of professional experience in the UK. Jennie aims to make first conversations straightforward and calm for people who are nervous about starting counselling.

She has worked in a pupil referral unit offering counselling to parents and children who could not attend mainstream school. That role exposed her to a wide range of emotional issues including depression, anxiety, low self‑esteem, bereavement, refusal, abuse and trauma. Earlier experience includes Drawing and Talking therapy, which informs her adaptable approach.

Jennie practises an integrative style that draws on Client‑Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. She adapts sessions to what each person needs and prefers, and she generally takes a non‑directive stance so people can lead the pace of the work.

In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and understanding rather than jargon. People who come with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, addictions, sleep difficulties or questions about intimacy and relationships can expect clear, approachable guidance and coping strategies.

Her wider focus areas include things like abandonment, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose and seasonal mood changes. Jennie supports clients to reflect on where they are now and work out steps towards where they want to be.

How Jennie's approaches translate to online counselling

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them. This approach helps with feelings of overwhelm, low self‑esteem and the day‑to‑day stresses that make life hard.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, obsessive thinking and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then together they will decide which methods to try. That shared planning helps keep each session focused and relevant.

Online therapy can fit into a busy life by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule brief check‑ins around work or family commitments. It can also allow people to choose quieter surroundings or limit video use if that feels easier, though the exact session options should be confirmed before booking. Confirm the formats offered when you begin so sessions match your needs and daily routine.
