Jenny Rudd, BACP

Jenny Rudd is a counsellor who helps people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or low in confidence. She supports those wrestling with anxiety, stress, grief, relationship strain and issues around identity and self-worth. Jenny also works with clients facing parenting pressures, career uncertainty, trauma, and the particular challenges that come with ageing and geriatric issues.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. Jenny listens without judgement and gives people space to talk through what matters. She encourages reflection, helps challenge unhelpful beliefs and teaches practical coping skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

Jenny uses a mix of well known psychological methods to suit each person. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment work and client-centred ways of relating, alongside cognitive behavioural tools and emotion regulation techniques. Sessions focus on small, realistic steps towards the goals people set for themselves.

She offers counselling by telephone and online, and has worked with people in the United Kingdom and abroad. Jenny has particular experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients and those facing bereavement or major life change. Her aim is to tailor each conversation so it fits the person she is working with.

People who choose to work with Jenny can expect a calm, non-judgemental space and practical help to move forward. She works collaboratively to build confidence, clarify values and find ways to make life feel more manageable and meaningful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on what matters to them. It is often used when anxiety, low mood or life change make it hard to act in line with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and feeling safe with others. Client-Centred Therapy gives the person a respectful, non-judgemental space to tell their story while the counsellor reflects and supports their own problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jenny typically discusses different ways of working at the first sessions and will agree a plan with each person. She aims to match methods to the client’s goals, preferences and practical needs, so the work feels useful and manageable.

Jenny has offered counselling online and by telephone, and this can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Online or phone sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday and make it possible to continue therapy for people who are travelling. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and how they will fit your routine.
