Jennie Holloway, NCPS

Jennie Holloway is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach alongside cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. She is identified by her NCPS credential, and brings six years of professional experience in the UK. Her style is calm and down-to-earth, aimed at people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes.

She has worked in a pupil referral unit providing counselling to parents and children unable to attend mainstream school. This background means she has experience with a wide range of emotional issues, including depression, anger, low self-esteem, bereavement, refusal, abuse and trauma. Earlier work included Drawing and Talking therapy, which informs her flexible way of working.

Jennie describes her practice as integrative, combining Person-Centred listening with CBT ideas and psychodynamic thinking to suit each person. She tends to work non-directively, helping people find their own answers while offering practical strategies for daily life. Sessions focus on understanding what feels difficult now and on small steps to change everyday routines and thinking.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, parenting and family concerns, self-esteem, addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems and ADHD, alongside many related themes such as guilt, isolation, jealousy and life purpose. This broad list reflects the variety of concerns she has supported over time.

Jennie aims to offer a steady, listening presence so clients can make sense of their experience and start to move forward. For many people she helps translate upsetting thoughts into manageable actions and routines that fit into busy lives.

How client-centred, CBT and mindfulness work online

Jennie draws on client-centred ways of working, which focus on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and better understand their thoughts and feelings.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy ideas to spot patterns in thinking and in everyday habits. CBT tools translate into small, practical steps you can try between sessions to change unhelpful routines and reduce anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to the present moment and to build simple daily practices that reduce reactivity. These can support sleep, stress management and coping with strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some people find phone sessions mean less need to be on camera, while other formats can suit longer, more reflective conversations.
