Jenna Pask, BACP

Counsellor Jenna Pask is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, life changes, relationships and compassion fatigue. Jenna also focuses on areas like autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and disability, body image, caregiver stress and panic disorder.

Jenna describes herself as a humanistic integrative counsellor. That means she draws on several approaches and adapts sessions to each person. She treats people as experts in their own lives and helps them notice and use their own strengths.

Her background includes work with the Royal National Institute for the Blind, supporting people with sight loss and other disabilities to come to terms with changes. That experience contributes to how she talks about practical adjustments and emotional responses to loss and health changes.

Sessions are one-to-one with adults. Jenna aims for an open and honest working relationship. Conversations look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and consider small steps the client can try between sessions.

People who choose her often want a straightforward, conversational approach. Jenna uses techniques from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused methods where they fit. She helps people weigh options and practice new ways of coping in everyday life.
