Jen (Jennifer) Luby , BACP

Jen (Jennifer) Luby is a person-centred therapist who offers collaborative, respectful support to people navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and major life changes. She adopts a relational and trauma-informed stance, meeting each person where they are and tailoring sessions to individual needs. Her practice emphasises helping people reclaim agency, build self-worth, and develop clearer understanding of their experiences while recognising different ways of perceiving and interacting with the world.

Jen has experience working with a wide range of clients, including those who identify as neurodivergent - for example autistic people and those with ADHD - and those from LGBTQ+ communities and diverse class backgrounds. She aims to create an environment in which identity, voice, and lived experience are respected and valued while acknowledging the specific strengths and challenges each person brings.

Her academic training includes counselling studies 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. Jen is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She engages in ongoing supervision and professional development to ensure her practice remains ethical, attuned, and grounded in best practice.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions support progress

Jen integrates person-centred work with trauma-informed practice to support people in exploring emotions, building self-understanding, and recovering from distress. Person-centred therapy focuses on empathetic, non-directive listening that helps clients find their own solutions and strengthen self-worth, and it is useful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Trauma-informed work emphasises understanding the impact of past harm and creating a steady, paced approach to help people feel safer and better able to process difficult experiences.

She also uses relational ways of working that look at how patterns in relationships affect wellbeing and help clients develop healthier communication and connection. Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process - Jen will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home or work. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow consistent contact when in-person meetings are difficult, and enable licensed professionals to provide ongoing, tailored care that suits individual needs.
