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 incredibly challenging and asking for help, uncomfortable, often an indulgence we don’t feel worthy of. Society pushes for self-sufficiency however there is increasing evidence that we thrive in communities, which means your need to ask for help is simply a sign of your humanity. Everyone deserves care and support; however, this can feel difficult to access when managing stressful life events or feeling disconnected from yourself and/ or others.

How it can help

I believe that in the right conditions, with the necessary support, every individual can harness their own intrinsic internal resources. The experience of being in a therapeutic relationship, receiving the compassion and care essential to human development, can lead to a transformative self-awareness that will enhance your connections in and to life.

My approach

My integrative approach combines humanistic and psychodynamic approaches, drawing on multiple modalities, which allows me to accommodate your unique needs. I offer a warm, empathic collaborative environment where we can explore how you experience and make meaning in life, attending to the influence of past experiences and how you relate to those around you.

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

Grief, loss or bereavement

Problems with family or school life

Fees & location

I offer long and short-term counselling. I work in Binfield, although I am happy to discuss online options.

Sessions are £55 for 50 minutes, typically weekly.

Counselling is a powerful but undoubtedly challenging journey of self-discovery, and you might feel resistant or cautious about taking the first step. With this in mind, I offer a free 30 minute telephone call to discuss the service and give you the opportunity to determine whether I am the right fit for your needs.

Payment will be by BACS bank transfer.

Cancellations must be made within 48 hours.
