Jen Woodward
Calm psychodynamic counsellor helping you understand patterns
About Jen
Jen Woodward is a counsellor with seven years of clinical therapy experience and a background working across mental health services in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known by the abbreviation BACP. Jen offers calm, steady support for people who need time to talk things through.
Jen uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand patterns that repeat in their lives. Sessions look at past experiences and how they shape present feelings and relationships.
Background and approach
The aim is to increase self-awareness and make sense of thoughts that can feel confusing or hard to name. People might come to Jen for help with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD and parenting strain. She also supports issues such as attachment, body image, codependency, dissociation, money worries and pregnancy-related concerns.
Sessions are designed to explore the areas causing distress and to find ways to respond differently. Her style is patient and curious. Jen listens without rushing and helps clients name difficult feelings.
Counselling can bring up painful material, so she works at a pace the person can handle while encouraging honest self-reflection. Therapy with Jen is offered in English and delivered online using a range of formats. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that suits the client.

Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy options
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people spot repeated patterns, understand hidden emotions and make sense of relationships and long-standing difficulties.In sessions the focus is on building a trusting relationship where thoughts and feelings can be noticed and talked about. The therapist helps bring unconscious material into awareness so people can reflect and choose different responses in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jen will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together that fits what the person hopes to achieve. That collaborative decision helps ensure the method and pace match practical needs and emotional readiness.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while still working with a registered or accredited professional.
