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
  • BSc (Hons) 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. Together, we can develop a deeper understanding not only of your inner world, but also of the relationships, systems and social contexts that have influenced your experiences. This can support a more grounded sense of connection, meaning and understanding of yourself, others and the 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, including the emotional, relational, social and environmental influences that shape your wellbeing. If it feels helpful, we can explore how past relationships, experiences and wider contexts may still be affecting what's happening beneath the surface. The relationship we build together can be healing in itself, offering a space where new ways of relating, understanding yourself and experiencing connection can gently take shape. My aim is to help you become more attuned to your internal experience, while also recognising the broader influences that affect your wellbeing, and to support you in developing a more meaningful, grounded way of being with yourself and others.
