Jennifer Haden
Supportive therapist for stress and trauma
About Jennifer
Jennifer Haden offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes. She welcomes conversations about grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, sleeping problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem and coping with ADHD. Jennifer makes time to listen and help people feel understood before deciding next steps together.
She works from a person-centred basis that puts the client’s experience at the centre. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and the therapist follows their pace.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to notice and change patterns of thinking and behaviour. Psychodynamic ideas may be introduced to gently explore how past experiences shape present feelings. Jennifer also draws on somatic and trauma-focused methods for people who find emotions show up in the body or who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events.
These approaches aim to reconnect physical sensations with emotional understanding and to build coping skills for distressing memories and triggers. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are available online and in person in Stratford-upon-Avon for people who prefer face-to-face meetings.
Jennifer has three years of documented experience as noted here and offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what a person needs. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, focused on helping people think more clearly and find practical ways to move forward. To begin, people can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace, helping someone feel heard and make choices that suit them. It is useful for a wide range of emotional concerns and for people who need a supportive space to sort their thoughts.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues and unhelpful habits by teaching practical techniques to change patterns over time.
Trauma-focused and somatic approaches pay attention to how difficult experiences affect both mind and body. Online sessions can include grounding techniques and gentle body-awareness exercises to reduce distress linked to past trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods together to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as people learn what helps them most.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - add flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from another location. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while still using the therapist’s clinical methods.
