Jennifer "Jenny" Humphrey, BACP

Jennifer "Jenny" Humphrey is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or problems with eating. Jenny aims to make the first step into therapy straightforward and respectful, recognising that reaching out can take courage.

Jenny uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviours that get in the way of daily life. She listens carefully and offers simple tools to manage panic, low self-esteem and anger. Sessions are down-to-earth and focused on what a person wants to change.

Her work also covers concerns linked to body image, pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression and eating and food-related issues. She helps people who are navigating divorce and separation, communication problems and questions about life purpose. Jenny will talk through coping strategies for social anxiety and phobia as well as support for self-harm thoughts when that is appropriate to a person’s needs.

Jenny draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to structure sessions and set clear, achievable steps between meetings. She explains techniques in everyday language and uses short exercises that people can try between sessions. Progress is tracked in practical ways so people can see what is changing.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Jenny works with adults and young adults who want straightforward, practical help to feel steadier day to day.

How CBT and online sessions work together

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood. Techniques are practical and often include homework exercises to build new skills between sessions.

When working on eating or body image concerns, CBT breaks problems into manageable steps. This can include tracking behaviours, challenging rigid rules around food and practising different ways of responding to difficult feelings. For anger and stress, sessions emphasise breathing, thought records and short behavioural experiments to test what works.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree how CBT techniques can be adapted. People are encouraged to give feedback so sessions change if needed and stays useful to their day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when more nuance is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, short exercises or when a written record of thoughts is helpful. Registered and accredited professionals offer these formats so people can pick the one that fits their schedule and needs.
