Jeff Hutchens, NCPS

Jeff Hutchens is a counsellor who combines client-centred work with practical therapies to help people change. He draws on seven years of experience and uses a blend of approachable techniques to help clients feel heard and move forward.

He believes clients are the experts in their own lives and focuses on listening first. Sessions aim to make space for your story, name what matters, and find small steps that fit your life. Jeff also offers hypnotherapy as one of the ways to support change.

His practice often focuses on anxiety, anger, low confidence and relationship concerns. He also supports people dealing with depression, stress, addiction issues and grief, and helps those managing life transitions or workplace strain. Special topics he has worked with include ADHD, attachment concerns and body image.

Jeff uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and Emotionally-Focused approaches alongside client-centred work. In plain terms he helps people notice what matters, try out different responses and build routines that reduce unhelpful patterns.

Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and are offered in English. He welcomes people from outside the UK as well. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps towards those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by teaching acceptance skills and committed actions.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the person leads the pace of change. This approach can help with confidence issues, relationship concerns and building trust in one’s own decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and problem-solving day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your goals, needs and preferences and then collaboratively choose which methods to use. That might mean starting with listening and then adding CBT exercises or a brief ACT practice as needed.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or an evening slot more easily. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises, homework and hypnotherapy to work well in remote sessions, so the focus remains on practical change rather than location.
