Jenny Parks

I currently work Monday-Friday morning (9.30-1.30), as well as Tuesday and Thursday evenings (6-9pm). 

I'm an integrative therapist committed to providing a natural, gentle, empathetic, professional, and safe space to all who come for counselling.

Training and Practice:

My psychotherapy and counselling training has included modalities such as: Person-Centred, CBT, Existential, Reality, Gestalt, and Psychodynamic.

The gift of the integrative approach is that the therapist has a wide and varied skill-set, allowing them to employ the particular modality or intervention which best suits an individual's current needs. This also allows space for a therapeutic approach to change or vary as the individual's needs evolve during the therapeutic process.

I have received specific training in working with: depression, anxiety, loss, grief, attachment wounds, identity and self-esteem, trauma, relational crises or family issues, receiving a new diagnosis (such as Autism or ADHD), facing a health diagnosis or illness (that may be your own, or perhaps that of a loved one), and challenges associated with long-term health conditions.

Why Counselling?

The difficulties and challenges that lead someone to seek out professional counselling are wide and varied. The complex challenges of life affect us all, whoever we are, and counselling is an empowering tool which can help us to process, cope, and even grow in these times.

While we never choose adversity, there is such hope in the ability humans have to cope, adapt and change in the face of it. Resilience is often the gift on the other side of challenges.

Collaboration, being client-led, and respecting the uniqueness and value of each individual is at the core of my practice.

I have received training with a Christian worldview but always have, and always will be fully open to working with people from all backgrounds and faiths.

If you have any further questions feel free to reach out!

I offer an initial 15 minute phone call that is free of charge, and move from that to a fuller in-person assessment appointment and where we establish a contract and discuss goals for the sessions ahead.
