Jennifer Haden, BACP

Jennifer Haden is a BACP-accredited therapist who offers both short-term and long-term counselling to people navigating a wide range of emotional challenges. She provides a holistic approach that addresses common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addictions, parenting and family problems, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, as well as more specific focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, domestic violence, and blended family dynamics.

Her practice blends person-centred empathy with psychodynamic exploration and practical cognitive behavioural strategies so each plan of work is shaped around the individual’s history, needs and goals. Clients report that the supportive, nonjudgmental environment helps them gain clarity, develop new coping skills and make meaningful changes over time. Jennifer emphasises collaboration, treating each person as the expert on their own experience while offering professional guidance and evidence-informed techniques.

She works with adults facing life transitions, chronic stress, grief, relationship breakdowns and behavioural concerns, and she accepts international clients. As a BACP member - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she brings professional standards and a commitment to ongoing development to her practice. Jennifer aims to create a warm, attentive space where emotions are validated and practical steps toward wellbeing can be taken.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jennifer draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on providing a warm, accepting space where the client’s own perspective guides the work and personal strengths are foregrounded. This approach helps people who need a supportive environment to explore feelings, regain self-trust and build confidence.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and gently reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Additionally, psychodynamic therapy can be offered when exploring how past relationships and early experiences influence present difficulties may be helpful. This approach can bring greater insight into recurring emotional patterns and relational dynamics.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each client to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access support from different locations and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Registered professionals can deliver effective therapeutic work through these flexible formats, helping clients maintain continuity of care and work toward change from wherever they are.
