About Lena Fenton

About Me

I have worked as a counsellor since 1994, when I started in private practice, as a general counsellor. Later I specialised in Couples Psychodynamic counselling as well as Psychosexual Therapy, at the internationally renowned Tavistock Relationships centre.

I have a style which is both relaxed and interactive, and I have incorporated techniques from various schools of counselling, writers and teachers in this field. I believe deeply in empowering individuals to enable them to make changes in their lives.  To this end I employ motivational techniques, deep empathic listening, reflection and analysis.

As part of the psychosexual therapy I use behavioural and cognitive techniques as well as educational material as needed.

In addition to my counselling training I am also trained in Neuro Linguistic Programming, and Life Coaching, it can therefore be said that I have a broad range of skills to support my clients.

In recent times I have developed my work online and I offer sessions via video link only.  This includes online marriage counselling and online relationship counselling, as well as online individual counselling.

Past experience includes work within the NHS mental health sector, Women’s Homeless Charity and with Her Majesty’s Prison Service.

I am also an experienced trainer and have trained counsellors to work with Sexual Abuse Survivors and given talks on the subject to various organisations.
