About Jenny

Jenny Doig is a counsellor with 22 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, depression, addictions and sleep difficulties. Jenny aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion from the first conversation.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She works to tailor conversations and any agreed plan to each person’s needs. Sessions are straightforward and practical, with attention to what is happening day to day and what feels manageable.

Jenny draws on several approaches to shape the work. She uses client-centred listening to make space for each person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioural ideas help with noticing patterns and testing small changes. Attachment-based thinking is used to look at how relationships and early experiences influence current feelings.

Over more than two decades Jenny has supported people through relationship stress, parenting strains, career changes and chronic worry. She also addresses issues such as trauma, intimacy-related concerns, eating and body image, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her experience includes helping people face transitions such as separation, bereavement and ageing.

She encourages small, achievable steps and clearer routines where helpful. If you want to explore what might help with sleep, managing anxiety or rebuilding confidence, Jenny will work with you to identify practical next steps and ways to cope between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Jenny uses client-centred principles to prioritise what matters to each person, creating space to set goals and pace the work. This approach helps when someone wants a listening ear and practical problem-solving rather than a set program.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments. That can be useful for worries, sleep problems and managing mood by testing what works in everyday life.

Attachment-based thinking looks at how past and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. It can help people understand patterns in close relationships and build safer ways of relating to others.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Jenny will work with each person to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. The plan can change as the work progresses and new needs arise.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and sleep routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time so sessions slot into a busy week.
