Jennie Walmsley, BACP

Jennie Walmsley helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck find clearer ways forward. She aims for straightforward, practical support and adapts her approach to each person’s needs. Jennie is named up front so readers know who they are considering.

She has three years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. That registration means she follows the BACP ethical framework. Jennie combines counselling with coaching skills from a long broadcasting career to help people communicate more clearly at work and in life.

Many people come to her with stress, anxiety or depression. She also supports survivors of sexual assault and abuse and those coping with trauma. Other areas she addresses include attachment issues, workplace difficulties, feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame and social anxiety.

Sessions focus on helping people understand themselves better and build confidence. Jennie works in a way that suits the person rather than sticking to a single method. She listens, offers practical steps, and helps plan what to try next.

Her background includes coaching and training work alongside counselling. That mix gives her a practical lens when people want to change how they communicate or handle professional roles. Jennie works with people in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Jennie works in an integrative way, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and coaching methods. Integrative counselling means she shapes sessions to the person, choosing tools and conversations that match the issue at hand. This helps when people need a mix of emotional support and practical strategies.

She often brings coaching-style work into sessions to help clarify communication and professional roles. That approach uses goal-focused conversations and clear steps to try between sessions, which can help with workplace difficulties and building confidence. For people affected by trauma or abuse, the emphasis is on paced, stabilising work that honours the person’s readiness to address difficult memories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennie will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how they respond to different ways of working. Together they decide what to try first and adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and fit a break at work. Text or chat works well for ongoing check-ins or when writing helps someone think things through. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy going around daily life.
