Jenny Rudd, BACP

Jenny Rudd welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or worn down by negative self-talk. She names common struggles plainly - anxiety, low self-worth, anger, grief and relationship pain - and offers a steady space to talk these through. Jenny is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience and works with people in the UK and internationally in English.

She listens without judgement and helps clients notice the thoughts and behaviours that get in the way. Sessions focus on practical steps - learning coping strategies, challenging unhelpful beliefs and building confidence. Jenny also pays attention to values and meaning, helping people find a clearer sense of purpose when life feels directionless.

Her background includes supporting people with bereavement and with LGBT+ issues through an agency role, and she has worked with a wide range of concerns such as trauma, parenting strain, chronic illness and career stress. That variety has shaped a flexible way of working rather than a single fixed method.

Jenny combines a client-centred stance with evidence-informed approaches. She will gently guide conversations while keeping the pace set by the client. Practical skills from cognitive and behavioural approaches are offered alongside work on attachment styles and emotional regulation.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals. Jenny aims to help clients leave with clearer next steps and simple tools they can use between sessions. If someone is ready to begin, she supports them in taking those first steps and planning how to move forward.

Approaches you can use online and by phone

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about what feels most helpful and adapt methods to suit individual goals. That means sessions can blend learning new skills, exploring values and looking at relationship patterns in a way that makes sense for the person.

The biography states that Jenny offers online and telephone sessions, so please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online or phone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins during work breaks. They also let people continue therapy when they are away from home or living abroad. Discuss practical arrangements and preferences with the therapist when you schedule your first appointment.
