Jen Woodward is a counsellor with seven years of direct therapeutic experience and a longer background in mental health work. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she lists as BACP. Jen presents as calm, patient and intuitive when meeting people for the first time.

She uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. Sessions focus on noticing repeated reactions, understanding hidden thoughts, and building a trusting relationship.

Background and approach

Conversations are reflective and paced to suit each person’s needs. People come to Jen for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around parenting and family life. She also gives attention to ADHD, addictions, self-esteem, career worries and coping with life changes.

Additional areas she addresses include attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, codependency and dissociation. Other focuses listed are fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, money worries, narcissism, pregnancy and childbirth, self-love, sex addiction, social anxiety, visual impairment and women’s issues. Sessions aim to help people name difficult feelings and spot patterns they want to change.

Jen offers a steady, non-judgemental presence while people make sense of their experiences. The approach is conversational and curious, with time to reflect and to try new ways of responding.

Psychodynamic insights delivered online

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and repeated patterns shape present feelings and behaviour. It involves talking through memories, noticing recurring reactions and developing greater self-awareness to make different choices. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, anxiety, trauma and identity questions.

Sessions are conversational and inquisitive rather than prescriptive. The therapist and client work together to identify which aspects of the approach feel most helpful. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the work fits the person's goals and comfort level.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when face-to-face interaction and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing, shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to keep up with therapy around work, family or other commitments and allow sessions to continue from different locations when needed.
