Jen (Jennifer) Luby, BACP

Jen (Jennifer) Luby focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, LGBT matters, compassion fatigue, self-esteem and career concerns. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and clear for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Jen uses a person-centred, relational and trauma-informed style. She tailors sessions to each person’s pace and preferences. The room is intended as a respectful place to be heard and to make sense of difficult experiences.

She has worked with neurodivergent people, including autistic and ADHD-identifying clients, and she says identities and backgrounds are treated with care and respect. The emphasis is on reclaiming agency, building self-worth and finding practical ways to move forward.

Jen trained in counselling at the University of Cumbria, completed a First-Class Honours degree at the University of Central Lancashire, and holds a Postgraduate Diploma with Merit from the University of Leeds. She is a BACP member, which is recorded here as BACP.

She takes part in regular supervision and ongoing learning to keep practice current and ethical. For people wanting straightforward support, she aims to stay alongside them as they explore their experiences and work toward clearer goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Jen describes her practice as person-centred and trauma-informed, with a relational focus. Person-centred work means the emphasis is on understanding your perspective, building trust and helping you make choices that feel right. This approach suits people who want a listening space and practical support for everyday problems such as stress, grief or life transitions.

Her trauma-informed stance pays attention to how difficult events affect thinking and feeling. That involves pacing conversations, checking in about how a discussion lands, and helping people develop steadying skills. The relational element means attention is also given to how people connect and communicate, which can be useful for those struggling with relationship or communication problems.

Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which approaches fit your needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing one style. This makes it easier to adjust the work if something isn’t helpful.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and reducing travel time. Since the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it simpler to attend regular appointments and to try short check-ins when schedules are tight.
