About Jennie

Jennie Holloway is a counsellor with six years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS accreditation and draws on personal experience of grief to connect with people facing difficult emotions. She offers a calm, listening presence for those feeling overwhelmed by life changes or persistent stress. Jennie works in a non-directive way, starting from what each person already knows about themselves.

Jennie uses a mix of approaches to suit individual needs, including client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural ideas, and mindfulness practices. She has worked in a pupil referral unit providing counselling to both parents and children who could not attend mainstream school, which exposed her to a wide range of emotional concerns. These have included anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, bereavement, school refusal, and anger.

In sessions she focuses on helping people understand patterns that keep difficulties going, and on small changes that can ease daily life. She also supports people with sleep problems and ADHD-related challenges, drawing on practical strategies and calming techniques. Jennie adapts each session to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script.

She aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them. That might mean working on coping with midlife shifts, relationship tensions, money worries, or obsessive thoughts and behaviours. Jennie helps people find clearer ways to manage guilt, shame, isolation and issues around intimacy.

If someone is unsure what they need, she helps them explore it together and decide the next steps. Her background combines direct counselling work with experience of using drawing and talking approaches, and she tailors practical tools alongside reflective conversation.

How her approaches work online and in practice

Jennie uses client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and priorities. The counsellor listens closely and encourages clients to find their own solutions, which can help when someone feels stuck or unsure where to begin.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes. These techniques often suit anxiety, sleep difficulties, compulsive thoughts, and managing everyday routines. Mindfulness therapy is used to build gentle attention to the present moment and reduce stress through breathing and awareness practices useful for sleep and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jennie will discuss what feels most useful, try different ways of working, and tailor methods to each person’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and choose the type of check-in that suits a day - for example shorter conversations during a break or longer sessions when more time is possible. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and sleep strategies to work across distance while helping people manage stress and improve rest.
