Jenny McDonagh Counselling

A confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings and challenges

About me

Hi, I’m Jenny, an integrative relational counsellor, passionate about the healing power of human connection, offering a therapeutic space where you can be heard without judgement.


I have experience working with both children and young people, and adults, dealing with a wide variety of mental health concerns and life issues. Currently I am working only with adults in my private practice.

Qualifications

  • CPCAB Level 2 Counselling Skills
  • CPCAB Level 3 Counselling Studies
  • FDSC - Foundation Degree in Counselling

I work with people from all walks of life and backgrounds, coming to me with a diverse range of problems.

As a fully-qualified counsellor I am a BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) member, and abide by their code of ethics.


Why counselling?

Life can feel challenging at times, and reaching out for support is not always easy. Many people feel they should manage everything alone, yet we know that humans are wired for connection and often cope better with the support of others.

Seeking counselling is a natural response to feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or those around you. Talking with a trained professional can offer space, clarity, and understanding during difficult or stressful periods.

How it can help

I believe that with the right conditions people are able to draw on their own internal resources and capacity for growth. The therapeutic relationship offers a consistent compassionate space in which you can explore your experiences safely. Over time, that space can help you understand yourself more deeply and feel more connected to the people and world around you.

My approach

My integrative approach blends humanistic and psychodynamic ideas, but what matters most is finding what works for you. I offer a warm collaborative space where we’ll explore how you experience life day to day, and if it feels helpful, we can explore how past relationships or events might still be shaping things. The relationship we build together can be healing in itself - a place where new ways of relating and understanding yourself can gently take shape. My aim is to help you become more aware of what’s happening beneath the surface and support you in developing a more meaningful, grounded way of being with yourself and others.


What issues can counselling help with?

People come to me for help with a wide range of issues. Here are a few of the more common difficulties that can be supported through counselling:


Depression

Low confidence or self-esteem

Anger management

Issues relating to sexuality

Difficulties at work or in retirement


Stress or anxiety

Panic attacks

Relationships
