Jenny Rudd

Jenny Rudd BACP is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, loss and relationship difficulties. She welcomes those struggling with self-esteem, grief, anger, feeling lost, and challenges to intimacy and parenting. She also works with people dealing with identity questions, LGBT concerns, ADHD and the ongoing strain of caring roles.

Jenny listens without judgement and encourages clients to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. She uses practical methods to challenge unhelpful beliefs and to teach coping skills people can use day to day. Sessions aim to build self-confidence and help clients reconnect with what matters to them.

Her practice supports people through bereavement and relationship breakdown as well as trauma and abuse. She has experience with the UK population and has worked with international clients online and by telephone. Jenny has also supported people via an LGBT charity on gender and sexual relationship diversity matters.

Sessions are described as warm and non-judgemental, with space to reflect and set personal goals. She offers a tailored service that adapts to each person’s needs and values. Clients work together with Jenny to find practical steps forward.

Jenny is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes five years of counselling experience, and she draws on several therapy approaches to match a client’s situation.

How Jenny uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice unhelpful thoughts without being controlled by them and focuses on taking actions that match your values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections and can help when intimacy, trust or abandonment issues are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those aims. She adapts methods so they match your pace and what you hope to achieve, making the plan collaboratively rather than imposing a single method.

The biography notes that she provides online and telephone counselling, and clients have accessed her from the UK and abroad. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online and telephone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example allowing a shorter check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. They also let people continue therapy when they are living overseas or temporarily away from home.
