Isobel Jenkins

I am currently accepting new clients.

I am currently available weekday evenings.

Hi, I’m Isobel and thank you for taking the time to read about me and my practice!

I see myself as a friendly and approachable counsellor who always aims to make my clients feel that they have made the right decision in choosing to work with me.

I strive to bring empathy, authenticity, and complete acceptance to our work together. I’ll always listen with an open heart, and I’m here to support you in a way that feels right for you - whether you're facing challenges with anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, or anything else that’s weighing on you.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which means I abide by their ethical framework and uphold their standards, morals and values as a professional counsellor. I work online and face-to-face.

My counselling journey began while I was completing my degree in Health and Social Care at university. One of my modules - Counselling and Guidance Skills - opened my eyes to the power of genuine human connection, active listening, and creating a space where people feel truly heard. From that moment, I knew I’d found the path I wanted to follow.

I thoroughly enjoyed gaining my counselling qualification and love what I do. In addition to my qualification, I have completed continuing professional development courses (CPD) to further my skills. These include self-harm, suicide, and trauma-informed CPD.

I have experience working with students, providing counselling support for them whilst they are at college, which has given me a deep understanding of the pressures young people face, from academic stress to identity and relationship concerns. I have also worked for a charity which allowed me to support individuals from a wide range of backgrounds who were navigating a variety of life challenges, often during vulnerable moments. 

If you feel ready to begin, I’d be glad to support you on your journey.

Please contact me for an initial consultation, and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

I am a person-centred counsellor, which means I place you, the client, at the centre of the work. It is important to me that I create a safe and open space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace and without judgment.

I feel it is important to note that, should you choose to work with me as your counsellor, it is not about me telling you what to do. Rather than me giving advice or directing the sessions, we will work collaboratively, trusting that you have the inner resources to find your own answers. By fostering self-awareness and emotional safety, I will support you in your personal growth, healing, and decision-making.

I offer individual face-to-face or online counselling in a lovely office in Headingley, Leeds. I am currently available weekday evenings.

During our first session, we will discuss the contract and complete the assessment form together. The rest of the time will be yours to talk about whatever you would like.
