About Jen

Jen Woodward is a psychodynamic counsellor with seven years of therapeutic experience and a longer background in mental health settings across the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her manner is calm and patient, and she aims to create a space where people can talk openly about difficult feelings and life events.

Jen draws on psychodynamic approaches to help people look at how past experiences shape current patterns.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on recurring themes, hidden thoughts and feelings, and how these influence relationships and self-image. This work suits people who want to understand the roots of their distress as well as those seeking practical change. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions and intimacy-related issues.

Other areas she works with include parenting, self-esteem, career change and coping with life transitions. Additional focuses include attachment difficulties, dissociation, body image and issues linked to pregnancy and childbirth. Jen uses a reflective style that encourages self-awareness and steady progress.

Therapy is offered in a collaborative way, so goals and pace are set together. Sessions can feel challenging at times because they involve looking at parts of yourself that are often hidden, but many people find that this kind of work brings clearer self-understanding. All genders, backgrounds and identities are welcomed.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided via online formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Psychodynamic work and online therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences, early relationships and repeated patterns influence feelings and behaviour today. It involves talking through memories, dreams and current responses to uncover hidden thoughts and long-standing emotional habits. This approach can help when someone wants to understand why they react in certain ways and to shift those patterns over time.

Sessions focus on developing a steady therapeutic relationship that allows reflection on unconscious processes and repeated themes. Jen will work collaboratively to find the right emphasis for you - sometimes concentrating on understanding the past, other times on practical steps to change present difficulties. Deciding which focus to adopt is part of the work and will be shaped by your needs and goals.

Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping therapy accessible across the UK.
