Ann Jennings – BA (Hons.), FdSc., PNCPS (Accred.)

Counselling, Psychotherapy and CBT Therapist

I am a qualified, accredited counsellor, psychotherapist and CBT therapist based in Leamington Spa, offering a safe, confidential environment to work through the issues that are troubling you.

Struggles with depression, anxiety, panic, low self-esteem, stress, relationships and other problems that bring people to counselling and psychotherapy are often maintained and repeated throughout our lives.

Driven by past experiences, and by the way we view ourselves, we may repeat the same patterns of behaviour, experience the same emotions, and wonder ‘why’?

My experience has shown that even the most difficult issues can be worked through and overcome. Whilst we cannot change what has happened in the past, psychotherapy can offer us the space to explore the reasons why we feel and behave the way that we do and make changes to improve our lives for the future.

My Approach

My knowledge and experience enables me to work with a wide variety of different issues and symptoms using a professional yet flexible approach, including the use of my specialism in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).  I encourage a collaborative therapeutic relationship to identify and address the difficulties that you are experiencing – relief from persistent symptoms can begin as early as the first session, helping you with the management of day to day living.

I use an integrative approach drawing on other relevant  therapy modalities to help with issues created by life experiences such as abuse, trauma, neglect, bullying and inadequate parenting. I am qualified to work with survivors of sexual abuse and rape, hold a Diploma in Trauma Informed Therapy and am a  Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. This enables me to work with clients suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD. For more information about this approach, please click here.

I am an accredited Rewind therapist as well as being trained in the Flash Technique and the use of Emotional Freedom Technique (or ‘tapping’) which can alleviate many distressing symptoms of anxiety, phobias and the impact of PTSD. For more information about Rewind please click here.

I also hold a postgraduate Certificate in Supervision and am qualified to supervise other counsellors. I am a Professional Accredited Member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
