About Jen
Jen (Jennifer) Luby is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, self-esteem struggles and guilt and shame.
Jen uses a person-centred, relational and trauma-informed approach. Sessions focus on listening and helping people make sense of what is happening for them. She stays alongside clients as they look at painful memories, current pressures or decisions they need to make.
She works with people who identify as neurodivergent, including autistic people and those with ADHD, and she supports people from LGBT backgrounds and varied class experiences. The work pays attention to how identity and past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour.
In practical terms Jen draws on several therapeutic models to help people build clarity and stronger coping skills. Conversations may include making sense of emotions, noticing patterns in relationships, and trying new ways of responding to old problems.
Jen trained at the University of Cumbria, gained a First-Class Honours degree from the University of Central Lancashire, and completed a Postgraduate Diploma with Merit at the University of Leeds. She is registered with the BACP and takes part in regular supervision and ongoing professional learning.
Her offer is for steady, respectful work at a pace that suits each person. People often come to talk about guilt or shame, life changes, or the strain of caregiving, and the sessions aim to bring clearer thinking and more manageable ways of coping.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Jen commonly works from person-centred and trauma-informed perspectives. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own words for what matters. It can help with low self-esteem, relationship doubts, and carrying guilt or shame. Trauma-informed work pays attention to how past harm affects the body and thinking, and it supports pacing and safety while addressing painful memories.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which approaches to try. That collaborative process helps match practical techniques to what feels most manageable for each person.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example squeezing in a session during a lunch break, using audio if bandwidth is low, or avoiding travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to maintain continuity of support while exploring emotions, relationships, grief, and practical coping strategies.
