Jenna Pask, BACP

Jenna Pask is a counsellor with five years' experience who focuses on helping adults navigate emotional challenges. She holds BACP registration, which appears as BACP, and uses a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs. Jenna listens with warmth and aims to build an open, honest working relationship from the first session.

She believes people know themselves best and that therapy can help uncover strengths already there. Sessions are one-to-one and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Jenna draws on humanistic ideas alongside practical tools to help with day-to-day difficulties.

Jenna has worked with people affected by vision loss and long-term health issues at a national charity. That work included supporting people with anxiety, low mood, bereavement and adjusting to life changes. She also helps those coping with burnout and compassion fatigue from demanding roles.

Typical concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, anger and depression. She also works with issues such as body image, chronic pain or illness, isolation and panic symptoms. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.

In sessions Jenna combines listening with practical steps. That can mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying short exercises between meetings, or identifying small changes to make life easier. Her aim is that people leave feeling more able to cope and clearer about their next steps.

Approaches in online counselling and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The counsellor helps people find their own answers by reflecting what matters and allowing the pace to be set by the client. This approach is useful for building trust and working through uncertainty or low self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will collaborate with each person to decide whether a more reflective person-centred route, short CBT tasks or solution-focused steps are best. That choice will match the client's goals, preferences and day-to-day practicalities.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is lower or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter exchanges or supporters who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy lives while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
