About Me
Hi, I'm Jenny
I'm an experienced counsellor specialising in supporting parents of tweens and teens. I help parents navigate communication challenges, family conflict, stress and overwhelm through practical, solution-focused therapy in Chichester and online across the UK.
I offer practical, solution-focused therapy in Chichester and online across the UK.
Parenting a tween or teen can feel intense, unpredictable and exhausting. If you're juggling work, family life and a child who suddenly seems to need you in completely different ways, it's understandable to feel overwhelmed.
You're not alone.
And you don't have to figure it all out on your own.
What do I help with?
I support parents and carers of tweens and teens who are struggling with:
- communication breakdowns
- morning or bedtime battles
- emotional outbursts or shutdowns
- anxiety, stress or overwhelm
- conflict at home
- feeling exhausted, guilty or like you're getting it wrong
I help you understand what’s going on, feel more confident, and find practical ways to bring more calm and connection into family life.
How can therapy help parents of tweens and teens?
Therapy helps you understand what's behind your child's behaviour, feel more confident in your parenting, and create a calmer, more connected family life.
Therapy gives you space to:
- talk openly without judgement
- understand what’s driving your teen’s behaviour
- learn communication approaches that work
- set boundaries that feel healthy
- manage stress and emotional load
- find steady, practical next steps
Why do I work with parents?
Over the years, I've seen how much pressure parents put themselves under. They're often trying to support everyone else while ignoring their own needs.
Supporting parents has become the heart of my practice because I've seen how even small changes in a parent's confidence, communication and wellbeing can transform family life.
I understand how easy it is to put everyone else first. Through counselling, I help parents develop realistic expectations, healthier boundaries and greater self-compassion so they can feel calmer and more confident.
Who do I support?
I primarily work with:
• Parents and carers of tweens and teens
• Parents of neurodivergent young people, including ADHD and autism
• Parents navigating anxiety, school issues, family conflict or relationship changes
I also work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, overwhelm and relationship difficulties where these challenges are affecting everyday life.
I create a safe, inclusive space for every client, regardless of background, culture or identity.
What are my qualifications?
I am an Accredited Member of the BACP British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP Accred.).
My qualifications include:
- MSc Psychology – University of Roehampton
- Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling – Australian College of Applied Psychology
What experience do I have?
