Jen (Jennifer) Luby, BACP

Jen (Jennifer) Luby offers a calm, attentive presence for people who know what is troubling them and want practical ways to move forward, as well as for those who sense something needs to change but cannot yet name it. She works in a person-centred, relational, and trauma-informed way that is adapted to each individual, drawing on a range of therapeutic models to match the needs of the person in front of her. In sessions she aims to create a respectful space where people can be heard, noticed, and supported at a pace that feels manageable, and her role is to remain alongside clients as they explore experiences and seek greater clarity, connection, and self-understanding.

Jen has experience supporting a wide variety of people, including those who identify as neurodivergent - for example autistic people and those with ADHD - and she is committed to working with individuals from LGBTQ+ communities and different socio-economic backgrounds. She seeks to recognise and respect each person’s identity, strengths, and challenges while helping them reclaim personal agency, build self-worth, and find ways of living that feel authentic and affirming.

Her 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. She is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Jen engages in ongoing supervision and professional development to ensure her practice remains ethical, attuned, and grounded in current best practice.
