About Jenny

Jenny Doig is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 22 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief, anger and depression. Her background also includes support for addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting concerns, self-esteem and career challenges.

Jenny focuses on straightforward, practical conversations. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and talks through immediate concerns and next steps. Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause distress and small changes that make daily life easier.

Her practice draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. These methods are used to look at how relationships, thoughts and behaviours interact and to try different ways of responding.

Jenny has supported people with a wide range of issues over two decades, including neurodiversity, trauma and bereavement. She also works with people dealing with career shifts, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.

People who choose Jenny often want clear conversation, practical ideas and a steady presence while they navigate life changes. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can use this approach to explore patterns in relationships and improve how someone connects with others.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back a person’s concerns without directing them. It helps people feel heard while they sort out priorities and make choices about next steps.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. Online sessions can include practical exercises and plan small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try approaches that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats on the booking page before you sign up, as the biography does not list formats. Online counselling can help fit sessions around study, work or other commitments by reducing travel and making it easier to attend from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or quieter, longer sessions when more space is needed.
