Jen D'Aubyn
Psychotherapist and Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
Bio
I work with people who are struggling with difficulties of anxiety and/or depression that are getting in the way of them living the way they would like to. I have specific experience in working with long-term health conditions, particularly long COVID.
My main ways of working include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), compassion focussed therapy (CFT), mindfulness and nutritional therapy. Each approach integrates well with the others resulting in either nutritionally-informed psychotherapy or psychologically-informed nutritional therapy. So, my unique blend of knowledge and skills means that I can attend, as needed, to both mind and body. Hence, Mind Body Therapies. I call my specific brand of therapy, Gut-led Psychotherapy™.
Other influences in my practice include positive psychology and the philosophical underpinnings of person-centred therapy, existential psychotherapy, lifestyle medicine and functional medicine. I enjoy philosophy, whimsy, play, and fantasy. I draw upon all these aspects of myself to meet clients exactly where they are and help them do the same so that they can move towards to where and how they want to be.
My approach to therapy is fundamentally human-affirming. Whatever clients’ background, gender-identity, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, physical capacities, spiritual and/or religious beliefs I see and I accept them exactly as they are and as they have been shaped to be. I love people, travel, culture, folk-lore, science, spirituality and more. I believe that our human society is stronger and healthier in rich diversity - much like a healthy gut microbiome!
