Jennie Holloway, NCPS

Jennie Holloway is a UK-based counsellor with over six years of professional experience who supports children, young people and adults through a wide range of emotional challenges. She is an accredited member of the NCPS and has worked extensively in a pupil referral unit, providing counselling to both pupils who cannot attend mainstream school and their parents. That setting exposed her to complex presentations including depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, bereavement, school refusal, abuse and trauma.

Earlier in her career she gained experience using Drawing and Talking therapy, and her own experience of grief sparked a lasting commitment to helping others navigate difficult emotions and life transitions. As an integrative counsellor she has training across multiple approaches - including Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic methods - and she adapts her work to meet each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.

Jennie works in a non-directive way that recognises the client as the expert on their own life, while offering professional guidance and structure where helpful. She brings particular experience supporting families and young people, and tailors each session to the individual, focusing on practical coping, emotional understanding and gradual change. Her practice emphasises a supported, non-judgemental space to explore where a person is and where they want to be, whether they are dealing with past trauma, current stressors or uncertainty about the future.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive environment in which the person is supported to explore their feelings and find their own solutions. It is particularly helpful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem and working through relational difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, stress and for building new coping skills.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches gentle, present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It can support stress management, sleep difficulties and help with overwhelming emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jennie Holloway works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with clients and adapt methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a registered professional. Jennie provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work or travel. These options allow people to access consistent support from different locations and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
