Jenna Rutherford

I work online as well as face-to-face, either long term at the same time and day weekly or fortnightly or short term, where we agree on the length of time we will work together at the start. Counselling provides you with an opportunity to discuss and explore your inner world, my role is to walk alongside you helping you to gain insight and process any difficulties or feelings that you want to work with. I am empathic and non-judgemental in my approach and our relationship is bound by a confidentiality agreement. 

I have over 15 years of clinical experience. Over that time I have worked in the NHS delivering short term solution focused therapy as well as in private practice, where I generally see clients on a longer term basis. More recently I have trained as a child and young persons counsellor and continue to work in a primary school was well as seeing adolescents online.  

The initial session is an important time for us to meet and for you to get a feel for me and how I work, as your potential therapist as well as for me to insure that I have the skills needed to be able to help and support you. It can feel daunting to make that initial contact but many people feel relieved once they have done so. if you feel uncertain please do call, we can talk things through on the telephone, you don't have to struggle alone.
