My Approach

I am American by birth and a Londoner for more than two decades. I value an open, direct approach underpinned by genuine warmth and care. Our sessions are a non-judgemental place for you to bring all aspects of yourself – even those you may have previously kept hidden, whether consciously or unconsciously.

I hold Full Clinical UKCP membership and am a Registered Member of BACP.

I welcome you fully and look forward to walking alongside you on your therapeutic journey.

About Me

Hello! I'm Jennifer, I'm a fully-qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist.

I work in person from clinics in Central London (Oxford Circus, W1W and London Bridge, SE1) both a short walk from tube and train stations. I also offer online sessions.

Do you feel like something is missing from your life?

Maybe you’ve ticked off the big milestones—career, relationships, hobbies—but the sense of fulfilment you expected just isn’t there. Or perhaps you’re still figuring things out and wondering if you’re on the right path at all.

Or you might simply feel “stuck”—caught between not being unhappy enough to make a drastic change, but also not feeling the joy or inspiration you thought you’d have by now. It’s draining, isn’t it?

Stress, anxiety, and even feelings of depression or low self-esteem can creep in, making it harder to see a way forward. You might be constantly questioning yourself, comparing your journey to others, or feeling overwhelmed by expectations—both internal and external.

You might be:

Navigating a big life transition and feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what lies ahead.
Struggling with low-self esteem, low mood, or depression and wanting to reclaim your hope and confidence.
Grappling with anxiety, stress or burnout, and longing for a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Whatever you're facing you don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to help you navigate those tough moments and rediscover your capacity to thrive.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I draw on numerous ‘schools’ of therapy and psychological theory (including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Existential, Gestalt) tailored to my client's needs at any time.

I'm also a qualified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist, which means I help you understand and heal the different parts of yourself—especially those carrying pain or protection—so you can cultivate greater self-awareness, inner strength, and self-leadership.

How I work will be slightly different with every person.

Although I have experience working with a wide variety of emotional issues, I most often support clients with:

low-self esteem, low confidence, and depression.
anxiety, stress, and burnout
navigating major life changes (e.g., bereavement, divorce/separation, career change, midlife, pregnancy/loss).
Alongside talking therapy, and depending on the client's needs and interests, we may utilise creative modalities, including mindfulness, breath work, visualisation, imagery, archetypes, dream exploration, journaling and art materials. By bypassing the ‘rational’ mind, these creative practices can often unlock and powerfully shift things in ways that talk therapy alone cannot.

I am LGBTQ+ friendly and ADHA/ASD/neurodivergent-informed.

The next step

I invite you to book a free 15-minute phone call without further commitment. We'll use this time to chat informally and discuss what's bringing you to therapy. This is useful to help both of us decide if it makes sense for us to work together.
