Jenny Doig, BACP

Jenny Doig is a counsellor with 22 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the strain of big life changes. She aims to listen without judgement and to respond with straightforward care.

Her background includes long experience helping people work through grief, anger and issues connected to relationships and intimacy. She also supports those dealing with addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges linked to neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD. Jenny brings a broad range of focus areas to her work, including career worries, compassion fatigue and parenting-related stress.

In sessions she adapts to each person’s needs. Conversations are shaped around what is happening now and what the person wants to change. Jenny uses familiar, practical tools alongside deeper exploration of patterns that cause pain or keep people stuck.

Her approach draws on attachment-focused ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Mindfulness and existential perspectives also feature when they help someone make clearer choices about their life. The result is a flexible way of working that balances practical steps with reflective conversation.

People can expect a steady, respectful presence and clear signposting of options. Jenny will work with each person to set goals and check progress as therapy continues. She encourages small, manageable steps that fit everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions help people notice patterns in close relationships, rebuild trust in how they connect with others, and manage fears around abandonment or intimacy.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and for those who need a calm space to sort through big feelings.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. In online sessions this can mean short exercises, thought records and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood or change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. Jenny will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can change as needs shift, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use facial cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible and to fit around everyday life.
