Empowering Change Through Curiosity

Hi, I’m Jenni, an integrative counsellor.

At Practising Curiosity I offer a calm, supportive space to explore change, understand your relationships with others, and gently move toward a life that feels more like your own. 

This might also include creative techniques and exploration, if that feels right for you.

Finding Clarity in Curiosity

At Practising Curiosity, I believe that understanding your internal landscape can sometimes benefit from more than just words.

 

My counselling philosophy includes traditional talk therapy, but with the option to include creative techniques and exploration, offering a holistic path through life's most challenging transitions.

 

By engaging with both the mind and your innate creative spirit, we can uncover deeper insights into your patterns and possibilities.

Creative approaches are particularly powerful when navigating periods of change or seeking to improve the quality of your relationships with others.

 

I provide a calm, empathetic space where curiosity becomes a tool for growth.

 

Together, we can move beyond the surface to define a future built on self-awareness, empathy, and a renewed sense of connection to yourself and others.

We can explore this together with curiosity.

My approach

Integrative Talk Therapy

An integrated approach bringing together a person-centred approach grounded in the here-and-now, together with a psychodynamic lens -how the past might impact the present. We explore your thoughts and feelings to navigate life's transitions and seek deeper clarity.

Creative Exploration

Sometimes it can be hard to find the right words for how you are feeling. You may wish for us to explore creative methods such as drawing, writing, and movement. This approach can help externalise inner experiences that words alone sometimes cannot capture.

No artistic skill is required.

Relationship Insights

Many people come to counselling to seek change in how they relate to or with others. Through our relationship in therapy we can explore enhancing communication, setting healthy boundaries, and fostering meaningful connections with yourself and others.
