Programme Director (2017 – 2020) 
Jenny was our Programme Director and Faculty Tutor for equine theory and has previously fulfilled the role of mentor, assessor and Internal Quality Assurer (IQA).
Jenny has worked with IFEEL since 2010 and has previously been part of the facilitator team for IFEEL Q workshops and part of the facilitator and researcher team for the Dare to Live Trust charity working with veterans.
Jenny has always had an interest in psychology and after graduating with a Degree in the subject, decided to see how this could be applied to help people. This led her onto training in the IFEEL Method of Equine Facilitated Human Development and also Psychotherapeutic Counselling; which joined her lifelong love of horses with human psychology.
As well as her work with IFEEL Qualifications Ltd, Jenny runs a private practice (since 2015), Integrated Psychotherapeutic Solutions, where she provides Counselling, Psychotherapy and Equine Therapy for those looking for support to overcome a wide range of emotional, social and mental health issues, offering a range of different therapies to suit the individual and their needs. In the past, Jenny also worked as a counsellor, intake-assessor and group facilitator with Catalyst, a Surrey based addictions charity (2014-2017).
Jenny is passionate about helping people to reach their potential and likes to work responsively with people, adapting the process to their individual needs and preferences and has trained in different approaches in order to do this.
In addition to her psychotherapeutic work with people, Jenny is a qualified equine behaviourist and trainer and offers consultations, training and courses through Equine Centred. Jenny set up Equine Centred to teach and promote standards of equine management and training. She aims to improve welfare and wellbeing of equines through encouraging evidence based approaches; using science to help us understand equines and how we improve our management and training of them based on this information. Jenny aspires to work with, keep and teach others to be with horses in a way that is stress free for both the horse and the person and looks to help others develop their relationship with their horses, improving their communication and connection. Jenny has always had horses in her life and currently has two horses.
Other interests include positive reinforcement training, animal behaviour, ethology and psychology, music (student of the harp) and martial arts.
