Jeff Hutchens, NCPS

Jeff Hutchens is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has seven years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, codependency and related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Jeff uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person’s experience first. He listens and follows what the client brings, while offering tools from cognitive behavioural work and acceptance-based approaches. He also offers hypnotherapy as a complementary option when it fits the client’s goals.

In practical work he helps people who routinely put others first, struggle to set boundaries, or feel overwhelmed by someone else’s moods or drinking. He breaks problems down into clear steps, uses CBT strategies for thinking and behaviour patterns, and draws on acceptance ideas when people are stuck on painful thoughts or feelings.

Sessions often include short exercises, focused discussion and homework to try between meetings. Jeff also brings coaching techniques for goal-setting and confidence work when people want clearer next steps for life, work or relationships.

He describes his role as a collaborator who helps clients access their own resources and build skills they can use outside sessions. To begin, clients follow the site signposting to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first appointment.
