Jenny Rudd, BACP

Jenny Rudd is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship strain, or anger and resentment. She also supports clients wrestling with identity and LGBTQ+ concerns and career or life changes.

She invites clients to talk through what is happening and to question unhelpful beliefs. Sessions include listening, guided reflection, and learning practical coping strategies. She helps people identify personal values and small steps that make day-to-day life more manageable.

Jenny uses a mix of evidence-based methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-based approaches. She aims to teach skills such as emotion regulation, perspective shifting and behaviour experiments. Work can focus on reducing reactive responses and building steadier ways to respond under pressure.

Her experience includes relationship issues, bereavement counselling and supporting LGBTQ+ concerns through a charity setting. She has supported people in the UK and internationally by telephone and online. This informs how she frames conversations about grief, intimacy, shame and belonging.

Sessions are described as conversational and practical. Jenny offers guided exercises, short skill practices and collaborative planning between sessions to help with ongoing problems such as parenting stress, workplace frustration or long-term resentment. The emphasis is on clear actions and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
