Jennifer O'Neil

I am a fully qualified Integrative counsellor and psychosexual therapist working in person and online. I specialise in working with relationship issues (individuals and couples), attachment, love addiction, sexual concerns, and all of the layers that may come with this, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, depression, eating problems, etc. 

I focus on the repetitive patterns that may be operating on an unconscious level. Patterns that we recreate from the past, but that perhaps are no longer helpful now. It can take time and patience not only to notice these patterns, but to change them. Through our relationship I hope to bring these patterns into awareness, which I believe can be healing and promote change.I believe that the relationship we will create together is the most important factor in predicting the outcome of therapy.

Studying existential counselling as part of my training means that I also think about how we make meaning of our lives. How we think about the 'givens' in life - Death, Freedom, Meaninglessness and Isolation. The facets of existence that affect us all.

A common thread in my work is helping others to realise their innate potential. I believe we already have many answers within us, we just have to find a way of accessing this wisdom. 

I work in Hertford, Stanstead Abbotts and Broxbourne. I also work online via video call. 

Making the first step towards seeking counselling can be daunting and cause some anxiety - this is a common feeling to have. Please feel free to contact me either by phone or email in the first instance and then we can discuss your needs in confidence. I respond quickly to any contact made but if I don't answer your call at first then please leave me a brief message and I will get back to you promptly. 

After speaking on the phone or via email we can have an initial session which will last for fifty minutes. This is a chance for us to see how we feel working together.
