About Lena Fenton

About Me

I qualified as a Psychosexual Therapist at the internationally renowned Tavistock Relationships centre, and have been working as a counsellor since then. After working in London for many years, I now work from a light and airy consultation room in Leeds City Centre.

I have a style which is both relaxed and interactive, and which incorporates techniques from various schools of counselling as well as from writers and teachers in this field. I believe deeply in empowering individuals to make the changes that they need in their lives and to achieve this 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, where needed.

I am a Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming, and am trained in Psychodynamic Therapy. I am also a Life Coach. I am able to use my broad range of skills to support my clients. I work from my consulting room in Leeds City Centre, and I also work as an online counsellor.  This includes online marriage counselling and online relationship counselling, as well as online individual counselling.

I have worked within the NHS mental health, a 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.
