'When I accept myself as I am, then I can change'- Carl Rogers, On Becoming a Person

​About Me

​​
​I am Jen (they/them), PNCPS Acc. I'm a person-centred therapist working one on one with clients in Sheffield and online. 

In person-centred therapy, you'll find a safe space where you are the expert on your own experience. My approach is rooted in the belief that you are innately good and have the capacity for self-growth, and that together we can find what is getting in the way of that. You choose what to focus on in our sessions, and we explore your thoughts and feelings together.
I create a supportive and non-judgmental environment that encourages you to reflect on what truly matters to you. While the journey may feel slow and challenging at times, it enables you to treat yourself with kindness and empowers you to find your own answers. Together, we can make sense of what you're experiencing now, identify what you want to change, and how to achieve that. If this resonates with you, get in touch.

I have many years' experience supporting people with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, low self-confidence, family and relationship issues, and feeling ‘stuck’. I have particular expertise in exploring gender, sexuality, and life transitions such as menopause, relationship breakdown, and bereavements.
​
My practice is neurodivergent affirming and anti-oppressive. I acknowledge the structural inequalities affecting marginalised and minoritised groups.
