Jen (Jennifer) Luby

Jen (Jennifer) Luby offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and feelings of isolation and loneliness. She also helps those coping with life changes, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and issues around identity, including LGBT concerns. Her manner is warm and steady, aiming to help people feel heard and to find practical ways forward.

Jen uses a person-centred, relational and trauma-informed approach. Sessions focus on what matters to each person, and the pace is set by the client. She draws from several therapeutic models to tailor help to individual needs rather than following a single fixed method.

She has worked with neurodivergent clients, including autistic people and those with ADHD, and is attentive to how different identities shape experience. This includes supporting people from LGBTQ+ communities and a range of social backgrounds. The emphasis is on respecting each person’s strengths and challenges while exploring change.

Jen completed counselling training at the University of Cumbria, earned 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, which she lists as her professional credential.

She engages in regular supervision and ongoing learning to keep her practice current. People who come to her can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through concerns and work towards clearer thinking, better connection and more sustainable coping strategies.

Approaches that guide online work and what they offer

Jen describes her approach as person-centred and relational, which means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and on building a trusting connection. This helps when someone feels isolated, unsure or wants to explore difficult emotions at their own pace.

She also uses trauma-informed ways of working, which pay attention to how past hurts affect present coping. That approach aims to make difficult memories and reactions easier to talk about and manage without pushing beyond what a person can handle.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match a person’s goals, preferences and life demands. Clients and the therapist check in together about what feels useful and change course when needed.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. In general, online work can make regular contact easier to fit into everyday life. It can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during busy weeks and make it simpler to keep continuity of care when schedules shift. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you arrange your first session to find what best fits your routine.
