Jen (Jennifer) Luby, BACP

Jen (Jennifer) Luby offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, midlife crisis and other life changes. She also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, LGBT matters, self-esteem, career worries and compassion fatigue. Jen writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.

Her style is person-centred and relational. That means conversations focus on the person's experience and on building a trusting therapeutic connection. She describes her practice as trauma-informed and draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit individual needs.

Jen has particular experience with neurodivergent clients, including autistic people and those with ADHD, and is committed to working respectfully with people from LGBTQ+ communities and varied class backgrounds. She aims to help people reclaim a sense of agency and build self-worth while accounting for how each person perceives and processes the world.

Her academic background includes counselling training 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 BACP member, and she engages in regular supervision and ongoing learning.

Sessions are conducted with an emphasis on collaboration. Jen stays alongside people as they name what is happening, try out new ways of coping and make changes that feel right for them.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online working

Person-centred work focuses on the client's experience and on building a dependable therapeutic relationship. In practice this looks like listening closely, reflecting what you say and checking in about what helps. It is useful for low mood, uncertainty and relationship concerns.

A trauma-informed way of working pays attention to safety, pacing and choice. It helps when past hurts affect current life and when someone needs a gentler, steady approach to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and adapt methods to a person's goals, needs and preferences in a collaborative way rather than imposing a single method.

The profile does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel by removing the need to commute. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and offer flexibility for people in different parts of the UK. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that regular online sessions can support steady progress while fitting into everyday life.
