Jenna Winstanley is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries, low self-esteem and career uncertainty. She also supports people coping with life changes, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Jenna works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

Jenna uses an integrative approach, drawing on a range of evidence-based techniques to suit each person. She creates a calm, welcoming space and encourages curious, compassionate reflection.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and paced to the client’s comfort. Sessions are collaborative. Jenna helps people set clear goals and checks progress together so therapy keeps meeting those aims.

She pays attention to patterns that may be holding someone back and gently explores how past experiences affect current choices. Her style is practical and supportive rather than prescriptive. People can expect to talk through feelings, try new ways of coping, and reflect on values and priorities.

Work may include building self-compassion, improving communication, and managing stress or worry. Jenna has three years of experience and holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Jenna works integratively, blending approaches to match what each person needs. One common route focuses on building self-compassion and self-esteem through reflective conversation and practical exercises that help shift unhelpful self-criticism. This suits people struggling with shame, low confidence or negative self-talk.

Another strand looks at attachment-related patterns and relationships. This involves noticing recurring ways of relating, naming those patterns, and practising different ways of communicating and connecting. It can help when relationship worries or loneliness feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jenna will work together with the client to identify goals, try techniques and review what helps most. Choices about methods and pace are made collaboratively and reviewed regularly.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide flexibility for brief updates or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and busy schedules.
