Catherine Jennings

Counselling and therapy in Nottingham

Counselling in Wollaton, near Nottingham, Stapleford, Ilkeston and Derby. Wollaton is near Junction 25 and Junction 26 of the M1 just a few miles from Derby.


Are you feeling low? Anxious? Confused?

Would you like someone to turn to who you can trust - someone separate from your circle of family and friends?

Perhaps you feel you could benefit from a safe space in which to take some time-out to explore your thoughts and feelings in a confidential and nonjudgemental environment?

Perhaps you have never tried counselling and are wondering whether it can benefit you.

My name is Catherine Jennings. I have been a counsellor for 8 years. I used to work in Education and the NHS as a counsellor. I now work in private practice in Wollaton, Nottingham and specialise in working with a wide range of emotional issues.

I have a lot of experience working with both teenagers and adults. I work either on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period. Some people come for a few sessions, some for months or years - it is entirely up to you.

Typical difficulties clients may bring to a session are:

- Stress
- Relationship issues
- Wanting to be a parent
- Feeling an outsider
- Miscarriage
- Addiction (past and present)
- Panic attacks
- Loneliness
- Life Transitions (such as: living in a new city/country, becoming a parent, becoming single, starting a new job, being made redundant)
- Personal Development (wanting to increase your self awareness and self insight)
- Bullying (being bullied or being the person who bullies others)
- Traumatic experiences
- Money Worries
- Sexuality
- Low moods
- Low Self-esteem
- Anxiety
- Loss and Bereavement
- Developing relationships
- Physical/Sexual/Emotional Abuse (past and present)
- Divorce and Separation
- Decision making.

My aim is to work together with you. I accompany you on the journey of exploring whatever is bothering you or getting you down. Through counselling you may be able to see yourself more clearly and perhaps identify patterns of behaviour in your life that are unhealthy.

Ultimately counselling can help you make more conscious choices about the direction you want your life to take.

Through counselling it is possible to move on from the past and live your life more fully and joyfully.

Prior to becoming a counsellor I was an NHS Midwife and I also offer counselling for women and couples who have emotional issues relating to their pregnancy, birth or postnatal period.

These issues may relate to sorrow, loss, expectations, low mood, body image, new role as a parent, fertility issues, relationship changes and isolation.


As a Supervisor in training at "The Sherwood Institute" Nottingham I offer Professional Supervision for counsellors who are already qualified or are in counsellor training.


Counselling Sessions cost £40 per 60 minute hour
