Jennifer Wainman

Professional Profile

My name is Jennifer and I am a fully qualified and BABCP Accredited Psychotherapist, working with Think CBT in Colliers Wood, London SW19. I also provide online CBT via Skype and video link.

I work with young people as well as parents and carers, to address symptoms of Depression and / or Anxiety including Social Anxiety, Phobias, PTSD and Panic.

I have worked for the last 15 years in education settings and those that I work with have struggled with Bereavement, Social and / or Emotional Communication which has in turn affected school, home and friendships.
I work collaboratively, decisions are made together with the client, about the best way forward in therapy.

We explore the psychology behind symptoms and figure out the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

After each session practice tools are provided to help based on what has been learnt / discussed.

Usually working with clients for up to 20 sessions with a 6th session review, we decide together whether to continue therapy; or put together a Relapse Prevention Plan.

Other approaches I incorporate in my work: Compassion Focused Therapy, Practitioner 123 Magic programme and ‘Surviving Your Adolescents’ Parent support programme, Motivational Interviewing for those who are ambivalent about change.
