a little about me…

I'm Jenny Wellwood (she/her), an integrative counsellor practicing in Exeter city and online across the UK.

I am 46, British, a keen gardener and a grandma. I've been based in Devon since childhood, and I find joy, solace and strength in our woodland, coast, and moors.

I came to this work through a long career in caring roles, a couple of decades as a community artist, and a fair amount of my own ups-and-downs along the way. Before my training, I spent years alongside wonderful people, through some hard and vulnerable moments, as a foster carer, a care worker and more.

I appreciate the courage it takes to step up to the counselling plate, to bring into focus what you are experiencing as personal difficulty. A counselling relationship- whether for a few sessions, or as a more long-term arrangement- can offer support directly to you, where ever you find yourself in life - making new awareness, choice and change possible.

I trained at the Devon Heartwood Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre, and I'm a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.

I take the processes of healing and change seriously — and I'd be glad to walk alongside you in yours.

Ready to Move Forward?

Counselling works best when therapist and client feel a genuine fit — when the relationship feels trustworthy, and you feel heard. I offer a free 20-minute consultation, by Zoom or phone, to see if you feel we 'click'. It's a chance to ask me about how I work, and for me to hear a little about what's bringing you to therapy right now.

There is no obligation : if it feels right to you that we work together, we'll talk through timing and frequency, and take it from there. I look forward to hearing from you.
