About Jen

Jen Luby is a BACP-registered counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and a broad range of life challenges such as grief, parenting strain and career questions. Jen also supports people facing trauma and abuse, LGBT-related issues, and difficulties with self-esteem and coping with change.

Her style is person-centred and relational. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on building clearer understanding of feelings and patterns. She describes her approach as trauma-informed and draws on several evidence-based methods to help people manage distress and make small changes that feel doable.

Jen has experience supporting neurodivergent people, including autistic clients and those with ADHD, and she works with people from LGBT communities and diverse class backgrounds. She emphasises respect for each person’s identity and how they experience the world.

Her training includes a First-Class Honours degree from the University of Central Lancashire, counselling training at the University of Cumbria, and a Postgraduate Diploma with Merit from the University of Leeds. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the site booking flow.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Jen describes a person-centred approach that focuses on understanding the client's concerns and priorities. This means sessions often begin with listening and clarifying what the client wants to work on, then moving at a pace that suits them.

She also uses relational methods that pay attention to how people connect and relate to others. This can help with relationship difficulties, communication problems and feelings of isolation. Her trauma-informed perspective looks at how past experiences affect current responses and helps people notice and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, try different ways of working if needed, and agree on goals together. The client’s needs, preferences and practical constraints guide those choices rather than a fixed method.

The biography does not specify exact session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also reduce the need to be on camera for every session, which may suit people who prefer audio only or lower-intensity contact.
