You’ve been holding it together for a long time.
In-person counselling in Amersham and online therapy sessions worldwide, helping you feel less stuck, less anxious, and more at home in yourself.
Jen Morrison, therapist and BACP-registered counsellor
A lot of people arrive here feeling exactly like this:
You lie awake bracing for something you can’t quite name.
You’ve lost the thread back to what you want.
You set the bar, hit it, and immediately move it higher.
You’ve built a good life and feel guilty for not feeling better about it.
You are the one everyone else leans on.
You’re still waiting to feel at home somewhere.
If any of that felt a little too accurate, you’re in exactly the right place.
Welcome, I’m Jen.
I’m really glad you’re here, and I mean that. Finding a therapist takes a certain amount of courage, and just being on this page means something.
I’m a qualified therapist and BACP-registered counsellor based in Old Amersham. I’ve been working with people through anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, life transitions and the harder-to-name stuff for years, and I still find this work deeply meaningful every single day.
I’m originally from Florida and have called the UK home since 2011. Moving here in my late twenties taught me a great deal about the particular loneliness that can sit alongside a perfectly good life, the unsettledness of building everything from scratch, and the strange mix of freedom and disorientation that comes with choosing a life nobody else quite charted for you. It shapes how I work in ways I’m still grateful for.
Sessions with me are relaxed and unhurried. There’s no agenda you have to fit and nothing you need to have figured out before you come. I work hard to create an environment where you feel comfortable enough to say the things you’ve never said out loud before.
I’m fully insured and work under regular professional supervision. I adhere to the ethical standards of the BACP.
Some of what I help with:
You might arrive knowing exactly what you want to work on or with a harder-to-name sense that something needs to shift, and that’s just as good a place to start.
Anxiety and worry
Persistent worry, a sense of dread that sits underneath ordinary life, or panic that arrives without warning.
Low self-esteem
A chronic sense of not being enough, regardless of what you do or achieve.
Perfectionism and self-criticism
Relentlessly high standards, the inability to sit with imperfection, and a very loud inner critic.
Life transitions
Big shifts in career, identity, relationships or direction, and the disorientation that tends to come with them.
Loneliness and disconnection
A gap between how you appear to people and how close you actually feel to them.
Expat life and cultural adjustment
The particular challenges of living far from where you grew up: homesickness, identity, belonging, and the strange grief of a life lived between two places.
Guilt, shame and regret
The weight of what-ifs, should-haves, and the stories we carry about what we did or did not do.
Relationship difficulties
Patterns that keep repeating, difficulty trusting, or a sense of going through the motions in relationships that should feel more alive.

How I work with people
Person-centred therapy
I use a person-centred approach, which means sessions are shaped entirely around you. There’s no fixed programme, no predetermined destination we’re working toward, and nothing you’re expected to arrive with. What there is is a genuine curiosity about what’s going on for you and full attention from the moment you walk in.
Compassionate Inquiry
I’m also trained in Compassionate Inquiry, developed by Dr Gabor Maté. It’s an approach that helps us explore the beliefs you’ve been carrying for years without ever stopping to question them. The ones about what you deserve, what you have to do to feel safe or loved, whether you’re really allowed to take up space. Hearing those beliefs out loud, in a room where you feel genuinely safe, tends to shift something in a way that’s hard to put into words until it happens to you.
You’ve already done the hardest part.
Finding someone you think you might trust is genuinely the hardest part of starting therapy. The rest is just getting in touch.
Book a free 30-minute consultation and we’ll have a relaxed conversation at your pace, with zero obligation to take it any further until it feels right.
Or send me a message first if you’d prefer.
