Throughout this time, she gained extensive experience in managing general anxiety and phobias, motivational interviewing and facilitating behaviour change. With true insight into the reality of working in healthcare she is passionate about improving the mental wellbeing of healthcare professionals who are experiencing stress, burnout, anxiety, low self -confidence and career dissatisfaction.

She helps clients to process the sense of loss they may be experiencing and reinvest in their new reality. Jennifer integrates elements of Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy through her client work ensuring it is tailor made to the individual and their particular challenges.
