Jennie Holloway, NCPS

Jennie Holloway is a counsellor with six years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS accreditation, and she draws on personal experience to offer calm, practical support when life feels overwhelming. Jennie speaks English and accepts international clients.

Jennie adopts an integrative approach that combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, whether that is stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, addictions, or midlife uncertainty. She aims to create a straightforward space to talk and to think through next steps.

Her background includes work in a pupil referral unit where she supported parents and children unable to attend mainstream school. That role exposed her to a wide range of emotional issues such as bereavement, refusal, abuse, anger and depression. Earlier work involved Drawing and Talking therapy, which adds to her range of practical ways to help people express themselves.

Jennie describes her style as non-directive and adaptable. She listens first and then uses techniques from different approaches to suit each person’s needs. This can mean practical exercises, thought-challenging, or mindfulness practices to manage stress and sleep problems.

People contact Jennie for help with parenting strains, family-related pressures, relationship and intimacy concerns, money worries and life purpose questions. She supports people through changes such as divorce, separation and midlife transitions, helping them to find clearer thinking and steadier routines.

How Jennie’s approaches translate to online counselling

Jennie uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy involves listening closely and following the person’s lead, helping someone feel heard and understood before any practical steps are suggested. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts and behaviours interact and uses straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety, manage obsessions or change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease stress, improve sleep and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is often part of the work. Jennie aims to choose methods together with each person, matching techniques to their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working. This collaborative attitude helps people try practical tools and then adjust the plan as needed.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing quieter check-ins during a work break, or offering shorter sessions when that suits a schedule. Many people find that practical CBT exercises and guided mindfulness fit well into online sessions when agreed with the therapist.
