Jen Woodward

Jen Woodward is a psychodynamic counsellor who has been described as calm, patient and intuitive. She has 7 years of experience providing therapy and has worked across a range of mental health settings, including the NHS and Place2Be.

Her practice draws on psychodynamic techniques that invite exploration of past experiences and internal processes with curiosity and objectivity. Psychodynamic therapy, founded on a trusting therapeutic relationship, involves examining repeated patterns and unconscious thoughts to better understand current difficulties.

Working with Jen offers a space to process both conscious and unconscious material, develop self-reflective capacity and work toward greater self-acceptance. Counselling can be demanding as it asks people to face parts of themselves that are often kept hidden, yet many find that this kind of exploration is helpful.

She supports people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, parenting, self-esteem, career matters and coping with life changes. Jen is a female, non-religious and liberal therapist, fully qualified in psychodynamic counselling and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). All genders, backgrounds and identities are welcome.
