About Jenna

Jenna Pask works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes using an integrative, humanistic approach. She draws on person-centred ideas and other methods to help people identify their own resources and make practical changes. Jenna is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience.

Jenna trained as a humanistic integrative counsellor, which means she combines elements from different approaches to suit each person. In sessions she focuses on building a straightforward, honest working relationship with adults so they can talk through what matters to them. She aims to help people look at their thoughts, feelings and behaviour and find clearer ways to cope.

Her background includes work with the Royal National Institute of Blind People, supporting people affected by vision loss and other disabilities. There she worked with issues such as anxiety, depression, bereavement and low self-esteem. This experience informs how she responds to people facing long-term health changes or caregiving stress.

Jenna uses practical methods alongside listening. She draws on client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques depending on the person's needs. Sessions are one-to-one with adults and aim to help people make manageable changes in day-to-day life.

People usually meet her to address relationship strain, career pressure, anger, compassion fatigue, body image and social anxiety. She also offers help with issues such as chronic pain, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and money. The emphasis is on clear, practical steps and on finding personal strengths.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Jenna commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas in sessions. Client-centred practice involves listening closely and helping people locate their own strengths and choices; it is useful for low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offer simple strategies to test unhelpful thinking and change behaviour, which can help with anxiety and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jenna will discuss options with each person and agree what to try based on their goals, preferences and what has helped them before. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a day, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions that work around work and caregiving commitments.
