Jen (Jennifer) Luby

Jen (Jennifer) Luby works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and life changes such as divorce and separation. She supports people dealing with parenting pressures, career worries, identity issues including LGBT concerns, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue. Jen aims to help people find clearer direction and greater self-understanding in everyday language and practical steps.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She uses a person-centred, relational, and trauma-informed way of working that is adapted to each person. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better. The intention is to move at a pace each person finds manageable.

Jen has experience supporting neurodivergent people, including autistic people and those with ADHD, and she makes space for different ways of processing and communicating. She also works with people from LGBT backgrounds and varied social and class experiences, aiming to respect and value each person’s identity.

Her training includes counselling education at the University of Cumbria, a First-Class Honours degree from the University of Central Lancashire, and a Postgraduate Diploma with Merit from the University of Leeds. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Jen keeps her practice current through ongoing supervision and professional learning. She focuses on helping people reclaim agency, build self-worth, and find practical ways to manage difficult feelings and decisions.

How Jen’s approaches translate to online counselling

Jen works from person-centred, relational, and trauma-informed perspectives. Person-centred work means the focus is on the client’s priorities, with the counsellor following the person’s lead and reflecting what matters most. Relational approaches pay attention to how patterns between people affect feelings and decisions, which can help with relationship strain and communication problems. Trauma-informed care means sessions recognise how past harm can shape responses today and aim to offer steadiness and choice.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The counsellor will listen to what you want to change and try options together to find what fits. That process often unfolds over a few sessions as trust grows and the practical steps become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or outside commuting hours. It can also allow quieter check-ins when looking for shorter, focused conversations rather than longer in-person sessions. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use these flexible arrangements to help people manage therapy alongside everyday responsibilities.
