About Jenny
Jenny Doig brings 22 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom to her counselling work. She offers a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach that aims to make first steps easier for people who are worried or overwhelmed. Jenny tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation.
She makes practical, down-to-earth support central to the work. Jenny commonly helps people with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and anger. She also supports those facing relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, addictions, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Career strain, sleep and eating problems, parenting pressures, and coping with major life changes are also within her focus. Her practice draws on client-centred ways of working, which put the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to look at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going.
Attachment-based ideas help explore how early relationships shape current expectations and responses. Sessions can include practical exercises, reflective conversation, and simple strategies to manage strong emotions day to day. Jenny adapts the pace to each person, offering coaching-style support where helpful alongside therapy.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated as BACP. People who choose Jenny tend to want straightforward help they can use between sessions. She aims to create a collaborative space where problems are broken down into manageable steps.

How Jenny works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process allows adjustments as progress is made and priorities shift.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use different tools from home to practise strategies between meetings, helping change carry over into everyday life.
