About Jen

Jen Woodward is a counsellor who has worked in mental health for over a decade and has seven years of direct therapeutic practice. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she brings a calm, patient manner to sessions. People come to her when they need a steady presence and someone who listens without rush.

Her work draws on psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and relationships.

Background and approach

Sessions often involve talking through repeated patterns, hidden reactions, and the thoughts that run beneath conscious awareness. The aim is to help people understand themselves more clearly and make different choices in day-to-day life. Jen has experience across NHS settings and with Place2Be, so she is used to varied needs and complex situations.

She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions and intimacy-related issues. She also supports concerns like parenting strain, self-esteem, career worries and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, codependency, dissociation, fatherhood issues, and the effects of guilt and shame.

She also works with money and financial issues, narcissism, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, self-love, sex addiction, social anxiety and phobia, visual impairment issues and women’s matters. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How psychodynamic therapy works online

Psychodynamic therapy explores how earlier experiences influence feelings and relationships today. It pays attention to repeated patterns and hidden reactions so people can understand why they respond the way they do. This approach can help with long-standing issues like attachment difficulties, relationship problems, anxiety and unresolved trauma.

Jen focuses on talking therapies that encourage self-reflection and gentle curiosity about inner life. She works collaboratively to find which elements of psychodynamic work best for each person, adjusting the pace and focus according to needs, goals and preferences. Deciding on the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens together over the first sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful when visual connection matters, phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work, caring duties and daily life.
