Jen (Jennifer) Luby, BACP

Jen (Jennifer) Luby helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and major life changes. She supports those struggling with parenting, caregiving strain, compassion fatigue and issues around identity, including work with LGBT clients. People who feel stuck, low in self‑esteem, or overwhelmed by bereavement or trauma can find a calm place to begin again with her.

Jen uses a person‑centred and relational way of working that keeps the client’s pace at the front. She also takes a trauma‑informed stance, aiming to notice how past experiences affect present reactions. Sessions are collaborative and practical rather than directive. The emphasis is on developing clarity, connection and self‑understanding.

She has worked with a wide range of people, including those who identify as neurodivergent such as autistic people and those with ADHD. Jen says identity, class and background shape how people experience difficulties, and she adapts her approach to respect those differences. Her work often focuses on helping people reclaim choice and build everyday coping skills.

Jen trained in counselling at the University of Cumbria and holds a First‑Class Honours degree from the University of Central Lancashire. She also completed a Postgraduate Diploma with Merit from the University of Leeds. She is a BACP member, which reflects her registration with that professional body.

She carries out regular supervision and ongoing learning to keep her practice current. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details to match their needs.

Approaches that support recovery and daily coping

Jen describes her work as person‑centred and relational, which means the conversation focuses on the person’s experience and building a therapeutic relationship that helps people feel understood. This approach suits issues like low self‑esteem, life transitions and relational difficulties by making space for a client's own priorities and pace.

She also takes a trauma‑informed approach, paying attention to how past events shape current reactions and offering ways to work through those patterns gently. That perspective is useful for people dealing with trauma, abuse or recurring stress responses that affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jen will discuss different ways of working with each person and make decisions together based on needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps in day‑to‑day life.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around caring duties, reducing travel time and making shorter check‑ins easier to manage. The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they match your routine and technology needs.
