Jennie Holloway, NCPS

Jennie Holloway offers a straightforward, person-focused way of working that puts the client's experience at the centre. She presents as an approachable counsellor who understands how daunting the first step can feel. Jennie uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques to help people make small, practical changes in their daily lives.

She has six years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Her background includes counselling in education settings where she supported parents and children facing school non-attendance and complex emotional difficulties. That work exposed her to a wide range of issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, bereavement, abuse and trauma.

Jennie describes counselling as a place to be heard and to think about where you are and where you want to be. Sessions are adapted to each person, with a non-directive stance that trusts the client's own knowledge of their life. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness are used when they suit the person's goals.

She works with concerns including stress, addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems and ADHD, and also addresses themes such as communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and life purpose. Jennie aims to help people find manageable steps forward and to build coping skills for day-to-day life.

People can expect plain spoken conversations and paced support. Jennie draws on her varied experience to tailor sessions and to offer approaches that fit each individual's needs and preferences.

How her approaches work online

Jennie blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness ideas to help people make changes over video, phone or text. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective, and it helps people feel heard and make sense of their experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage sleep or address unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy builds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennie will discuss goals and preferences and then try techniques that suit the individual's situation. The process is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what feels most helpful and adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into short breaks during a busy day and offer ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into real life and to continue work even when schedules change.
