Charitable organisations Jenny has worked with:
Jenny has also worked in charitable organisations, most notably for Action for Children and with the National Association for People Abused in Childhood (NAPAC). Contracted for three years to co-facilitate 12-week therapy groups for adults who have suffered abuse in childhood. Working in an integrated way using mainly Psychodynamic and Person Centred approaches, we offered two groups a year in the London area and measured the effectiveness of the groups using the Core-34. Myself and the other facilitator offered individual assessments to each group participant and managed risk appropriately as and when required.
