About Jenny

BACP. 22 years' professional experience. Jenny Doig works in the United Kingdom offering counselling for stress, anxiety, family concerns, grief, anger and a wide range of other issues.

Jenny uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques in sessions. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural tools, existential reflection and mindfulness practices to help people think differently about problems. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps people can take between meetings.

She supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, addiction issues, sexuality and identity concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges such as parenting strain, career setbacks and coping with life changes. She also works with grief, trauma and abuse-related concerns and with mood issues including depression and bipolar.

Her practice includes attention to attachment, abandonment and family patterns, and to conditions such as ADHD and autism where these affect daily life. She also addresses concerns around codependency, control issues, dissociation, domestic violence, and ageing or cancer-related adjustment.

Jenny says she treats people with respect and sensitivity and adapts the dialogue and plan to each person. Sessions aim to be practical and clear, with techniques and discussion chosen to match what the person needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled via the online counselling options button.

How Jenny uses attachment, CBT and mindful approaches online

Jenny draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past and present relationships shape current feelings and behaviours; this can help when relationship patterns, abandonment or attachment issues are causing distress.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety, low mood and compulsive behaviours.

Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these approaches to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without immediately acting on them, which can assist with stress, anger and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a flexible plan together. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be combined or adjusted over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit work breaks and quieter surroundings, helping people keep therapy practical and manageable alongside everyday life.
