About me and
my work

About me

I am in my mid 50's and I live in West Wales. I've worked with people for my whole adult life, and I have a lot of experience of, and love for, the
art of listening.

I enjoy singing, meditating, playing with art materials and walking in the wilds with dear friends.  I delight in looking at moss and lichen,
seeing water birds fly and watching the interplay between sun and cloud. I am a mother, a
god-mother, a daughter, an aunt, a great aunt, a sister and a good friend.

I have done a lot of therapy and meditation myself and believe in the power of meeting our experience with kindness, compassion and curiosity. For me, the journey of coming into ourselves is lifelong. 

How I work

As I have become older, I have increasingly known that slowing down and working more with the elements of spaciousness, kind heartedness and deep attunement are the most important gifts for both myself and those that I support.

I combine classic Rogerian active listening with my training in Mindfulness, Nervous System Science and The Hakomi Method to create a spacious, kind and attentive approach towards individuals and groups.

 
I am client led, and simultaneously I draw from a wealth of lived and learned expertise, from which I sometimes offer perspective and direction.
Mostly we'll work together, tracking for the intrinsic places in you that know what is needed.
"Jenny has shown me how to connect with my deeper wisdom, in particular my subtle energy and somatic needs. She has huge compassion, discernment and capacity to be with the unknown and challenging aspects of being human."
