About Jennie
Jennie Walmsley offers straightforward, practical support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She adapts her approach to what each person needs and focuses on clear communication and building confidence. Jennie is described as empathic and aims to make sessions feel manageable and useful.
With three years of experience she combines counselling with coaching skills developed during a long career in broadcasting. That background informs her work on communication problems and professional roles, so she often helps people find clearer ways to express themselves at work and elsewhere.
Background and approach
She also has substantial experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and other trauma. Jennie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical framework. She uses an integrative style, meaning she draws on different techniques to suit the person in front of her rather than following a single method.
Typical concerns she addresses include attachment issues, feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame, loneliness, and midlife questions about purpose. She also supports people dealing with workplace stress, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress after disasters or abuse. In practical terms her work often involves helping people spot unhelpful patterns, try small changes between sessions and build clearer ways of communicating.
The aim is to make day-to-day life feel more manageable and to restore a sense of control and direction.

How Jennie works online
She also brings coaching skills from a broadcasting career to help people clarify professional roles and improve workplace communication. Coaching work tends to focus on practical steps, clearer messages and gradual behavioural changes that can be tried in day-to-day life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, priorities and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and make adjustments as progress is reviewed.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also allows continuing work with a therapist when relocating within the UK. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises and homework tasks to an online setting so progress is practical and focused.
