Compassiõ Therapy – British Chinese Counsellor and Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist

Welcome

My name is Jennifyr

Hello. My name is Jennifyr.

I am a British Chinese counsellor and psychosexual & relationship therapist.

I have been in the healing/therapy field for the last 15 years or so; training, attending workshops and undergoing therapy in various modalities.

Now in my 50s, and through the never-ending journey of exploring my passion for therapy and self-development, I’m now committed to providing a professional therapeutic service as an experienced practitioner.

I am a registered member with the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT) and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). As such, I am bound by their Codes of Ethics.

I am also a registered member of The Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN).

About Compassiõ

Compassion is not pity and it isn’t even empathy. We may not always be able to relate to what others feel. What is demanded is what medieval mystics called compassiõ – feeling with, or preferably, feeling alongside of those who suffer; in short: fellow-feeling, fellow-suffering. This is not merely a passive state – a feeling one merely has. It is something one actively cultivates and shows and does. It fights against passivity, against our tendency to become numb and desensitised to other’s suffering. What do you see, when you see my logo? Is it 2 hands, one clasped over the other? A heart? One wing furled over another wing?

Ultimately, it’s love and compassiõ.

I cannot thank you enough. I came to Jennifyr with a specific issue and a goal in mind. However, not only did I manage to work through the trauma but I also gained a deeper understanding about myself. Sessions with Jennifyr has changed my view about therapy - I was full of doubts at the beginning but now I think everyone should get therapy!

Couple T & S

Jennifyr provides a comfortable space to talk about matters that sometimes can be difficult to share. This was especially important in my case, as I had not had therapy before. She is a remarkably good listener and will often refer back to things have been discussed in past sessions. I would highly recommend her services to anyone, as Jennifyr has helped me immensely in addressing long-standing issues.

Jennifyr was an amazing therapist that anyone would be lucky to work with. She worked and guided my husband and I through our issues with care, respect and joy. Through her process, she helped us instill techniques that worked for us and helped rebuild our relationship with fun and love. Thank you for all you did!

Couples S & T

It has been fantastic to work with you and I have learnt so much. You have helped me achieve what Maudsley Hospital could not and a 25 year old problem!

MIND is lucky to have you as a therapist. Who would've known you were training, not me!

Jennifyr has been amazing in helping us open up and reach a deeper level of communication as a couple. We have worked through really challenging topics and have always been made to feel comfortable and safe. Has also been great fun at times!

I've been thinking a lot about my mental health and would like to really thank you for all the work you've done in helping me heal and realign in my relationship with J...

Thank you so much for all the work that you've done - I feel I can finally move on with my life 🙂

Couple C & J

Thanks again for everything Jennifyr - you have helped me massively over the past couple of months.

Client R

Sessions with Jennifyr helped me to work through feelings of shame, disappointment, and other related negativity around sex, and showed me I had all the tools, desires and techniques to get back to a happier, more comfortable place. After a course of therapy, I had gained enough confidence and physical knowledge to be able to discover a side of myself that I thought I had lost. Therefore, I am feel able to enter into future relationships with a better understanding of my mental strength and capability, and am much more at peace with my mind and body, for which I'm truly grateful

Client Z

Thanks again for all your support - we really did find the sessions very helpful!

Couple L & B

Dear Jennifyr. Thank you! Your knowledge and guidance has been invaluable to W and I and we now have so many tools at our fingertips for hopefully a long and happy relationship together. It has been an amazing journey and what better plaudit for your services than an engagement!

Couple A & W

Jennifyr provides a kind and compassionate ear, and I felt truly seen when opening up about my insecurities and emotional blocks. Coming from a South Asian background, I felt the similarities in cultural experience also helped build this rapport. I would highly recommend Jennifyr to anyone looking to build a better relationship with themselves or their partner.

Client J

Thank you for all your support over last few weeks!!! I am so happy I overcame such big anxieties and thank you for the support you have given me!

Client R

It has been great working with you, you never know we may find ourselves working together again. Have really appreciated your time and guidance.

Couple C & B

Thank you again for all of your help throughout last year, our conversations were really pivotal in helping me to make sense of what was going on for me.

Client T

When M and I arrived for the first time to speak to Jennifyr we were in a desperate situation, and this was our last chance. We were already living apart. Jennifyr provided an emotional space where we could be honest and vulnerable and express how we felt. Those sessions were tough but gave us a foothold. Over the next few months we reestablished trust, then love, then passion. We practised improving our communication skills but it never felt over formal or like too much hard work. It required effort, but we had a relaxed rapport with Jennifyr. She helped us remember what brought us together and what is special about our union. I'm not going to lie - we had a lot of fun in our sessions with Jennifyr and we were in many ways sad to say goodbye to someone who had given us so much support to find each other again, and who we had laughed and cried with. We were so lucky to choose Jennifyr, she really helped us reach the 22nd year of our relationship. I wish you the best of luck with your couple's therapy: Jennifyr is a great choice.

Couple S & M

Jennifyr helped us navigate some really knotty topics, and did so with utmost patience and sensitivity. She really took the time to understand us as individuals and helped us to understand each other better. She also gave us practical and tangible tools to communicate with each other in a healthier way. We can’t thank her enough.

Couple Y & J

Jennifyr has been so professional, approachable, warm and inviting as our couples therapist. She engaged us both equally, enabling us to go deeper in our understanding of self and each other during the short few months we worked together. Her curated readings/tools after every session helped to further our understanding of new concepts, making them easy to apply beyond our sessions. We are forever grateful to have achieved our desired outcome of improved communication and releasing limiting perspectives in our marriage - all while working virtually with Jennifyr from overseas! We whole-heartedly value and recommend her wonderful services. Thank you Jennifyr!

Couple S & T

Jennifyr creates a warm and inviting environment where difficult topics can be comfortably discussed. As a skilled therapist and attentive listener, she consistently supports her clients and often recalls details from earlier sessions. I strongly recommend her to anyone in need of therapy. Her expertise has been crucial in helping me tackle problems that other therapists couldn't resolve. Because of Jennifyr, I now have greater confidence in my relationship with my partner.

Client K

I just wanted to say I absolutely loved all of our sessions and you really helped me more than you will know. You got me out of such a bad place, I owe you a lot and I really really appreciate it.

Client S

Thank you for being a wonderful therapist and supporting me through many challenging times. You have helped me gain back a significant amount of mental health.

Client J

I’m so grateful for the support I received from Jennifyr. I was initially skeptical about seeking therapy, as I had never reached out for professional help before, but she immediately put me at ease. I felt comfortable opening up to her about my struggles, even when it was difficult. She guided me through a very challenging period of depression and helped me rebuild my sense of self and set healthy boundaries. Her compassionate and insightful approach made all the difference, and I can truly say that I’ve come out stronger and more confident.
