About Jenny

Jenny Rudd is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' practice. She works with common young adult pressures such as anxiety, stress, feeling lost, relationship concerns and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, life transitions and issues related to sexual or gender identity.

Jenny listens without judgement and talks through unhelpful thoughts with clients. She offers practical coping strategies and skills for managing difficult emotions. Sessions also focus on identifying values and small steps that can build confidence and direction.

Her background includes work with an LGBTQ+ charity, where she supported people exploring gender and sexual relationship diversity. She has helped people cope with bereavement and the many practical losses that follow a major life change, such as relationship breakdown or health concerns.

Jenny uses a range of approaches to suit different people. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thinking patterns, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-based perspectives when relationships and past hurts are central. She adapts the conversation to the practical issues a client brings.

She has worked with clients in the UK and internationally via telephone and online. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Jenny commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, value-guided steps even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It can help with feeling stuck, low motivation and deciding what matters after a big change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust. This can be useful when relationship problems, intimacy issues or past hurts are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences and how they respond to different ideas. Together the therapist and client decide what to try and then review what helps and what needs adjusting.

The biography notes she offers online and telephone sessions, but readers should confirm current formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or travel. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when time is tight or bandwidth is limited. The emphasis is on making therapy feasible within everyday life while using practical tools from CBT, ACT and attachment-informed conversations.
