Jenny Rudd , BACP

Jenny Rudd is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, parenting strain and life changes. She works with people coping with trauma, abuse, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Jenny welcomes international clients and runs sessions online or by phone.

Jenny listens without judging and helps people make small, practical changes. She encourages people to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. She helps clients identify values, challenge unhelpful beliefs and build skills for coping day to day.

Her style is warm and person-focused. Sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script. Jenny aims to give people space to reflect, name what matters and set achievable goals.

Jenny uses a mix of approaches that fit the person and the problem. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to work on thinking patterns, and attachment-informed ideas to look at close relationships. Dialectical skills and client-centred listening also inform her work.

She holds BACP accreditation, and has around five years' experience supporting people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her background includes working with an LGBT charity and offering bereavement counselling for those coping with the death of a partner, friend or family member.

People connect with Jenny for practical coping strategies, grief support and relationship concerns. She offers online video, phone and messaging sessions so people can fit counselling around work, travel or family life.

How online approaches and flexible sessions help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts. It can help when people feel stuck, lost or unsure about purpose. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for stress, panic, worry and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds affect current trust and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that feel most helpful. This remains flexible and can change as work progresses.

Online therapy can fit around a busy life. Video calls let people see visual cues and feel more like an in-person session. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to keep regular contact from different locations and to match the format to the task at hand.
