    • Biography:  Jenny is an experienced therapist and therapy business owner who has worked in the private practice industry for over ten years. Jenny suffered with anxiety disorders herself, and after having a lot of therapy and doing much research, personal development, and specialising in treating clients with anxiety disorders, she has a plethora of knowledge and experience that she now passes on to fellow therapists. Her experiences of anxiety, narcissism, imposter syndrome, and other areas, both from a personal and professional angle, have led to her having a unique perspective on treating anxiety. Jenny’s courses all have one thing in common: they all link to anxiety in some way. She believes that the key to helping people overcome anxiety disorders lies within the client, and our job as therapists is to help the client to unlock their own answers to overcoming anxiety and unleashing their potential. As well as her private practice, Jenny also owns the multiple award-winning room rental and referral service Chelmsford Therapy Rooms, and CTRN Training; a company specialising in producing and delivering CPD courses. She produces and delivers bespoke courses for organisations, as well as delivering courses generally throughout the year online via Zoom.
