Jennifer Owens

I offer sessions Monday - Friday, within normal office hours. Unfortunately I am not currently able to offer evening or weekend sessions. 

Between Monday and Wednesday I work from my office in Royal Wootton Bassett, whilst on Thursdays and Fridays I work from my office in Swindon. 

Hi, my name is Jen and I am a fully trained integrative counsellor based in Swindon and Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire. I work with adults over 18, offering face to face and online sessions to clients within my private practice. I offer a warm and friendly space for you to explore your issues, worries and concerns.

Considering beginning counselling can be a daunting prospect, one that you may have wrestled with many times already. In my experience as both counsellor and client, the most important question to ask yourself is - what do I need and want from counselling?

If any of the following answers to this question feel relevant or important to you, we may just be a good fit for each other.

• I need to feel heard, and to have my feelings and experiences validated. ​
• I want to explore issues that I have found difficult to look at in the past, but I need to feel comfortable and supported in doing so.
• I need to feel a connection with my counsellor that makes me feel understood, accepted, and not judged.
• ​I want to come away from a session with increased self-awareness and insight that I can work on in my everyday life. I don’t want to feel like I am being analysed and dictated to.
• I need to feel that I am in control of what we talk about, how deep or far we go and the pace of the sessions.
• ​I want to love and accept myself more and feel empowered to achieve my goals and maintain healthy boundaries.
• I need to allow myself the space and time to find the clarity required to stop feeling stuck.

Please feel free to visit my website to learn more about me and my approach, what counselling entails and how it may help you. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I achieved my Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from Willows Counselling and Training Centre in Swindon, and my private counselling practice is now based in the area.

I am an integrative counsellor, which means I can draw on different psycho-therapeutic theories and counselling models depending on your needs and requirements. My approach is person-centred and holistic in nature, meaning the therapy will be led by you, underwritten by a foundation of trust, empathy, and non-judgement.

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and as such, I am bound by their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling & Psychotherapy (Code of Ethics).

Our initial meeting will be a non-chargeable 30 to 50 minute introductory session where we will discuss your counselling needs and goals, giving us the opportunity to decide if we would like to work together. This session also gives us the chance to discuss the therapeutic agreement or 'counselling contract'.
