Jennifer Ofori
Dr Jennifer Ofori UKCPreg, (MBACP) is a qualified and fully accredited counselling psychotherapist who has gained experience over the last decade working in private, voluntary educational and public sectors- which includes work: for numerous IAPT/NHS services/boroughs across England, offering counselling to clients on a short-term basis. She works in private practice at The Awareness Centre in Clapham.
As a registered and accredited counselling psychotherapist Dr Ofori currently works in private practice with both adults and members of the younger generation (aged 7+). She has accumulated an extensive amount experience working with adults and members of the younger generation with depression and/or anxiety, behavioural issues, as well as issues relating to the family.
Dr Ofori recognises the importance of continuing her professional development having previously completed her Postgraduate diploma and Masters of professional studies qualification in psychology and psychotherapy. She most recently completed her doctoral academic programme with NSPC/Middlesex University and currently works as a private consultant tutoring trainees at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling training institution (NSPC).
As an integrative existential humanistic practitioner, Dr Ofori works from an existential base, encouraging her clients to gain greater meaning of their experiences, thoughts, feelings and behaviours, in a creative and collaborative way. She aims to support her clients to make better sense of their issues in a safe and nurturing environment. Her existential focus means that she encourages her clients to authentically confront and challenge the difficulties they may be experiencing. Dr Ofori invites her clients to consider new ways of coping. Together, it is always her aim to create a trusting co-constructed, confidential therapeutic relationship.
Dr Ofori’s background in Criminology, Psychology and Sociology has greatly influenced her interest in the human condition. She views psychotherapy as a courageous step towards permanent change. She is particularly interested in those facing existential issues, child developmental concerns, cultural/ racial issues, family issues and those experiencing depression/anxiety, however this list is not exhaustive.
I have been working with Jennifer for over 3 years now with great results. She is a fantastic therapist – calm, insightful, and flexible. I’ve found our sessions to be incredibly helpful; would highly recommend her to anyone!
Jennifer has been a therapist to my son since he was in his early teens and has provided him and our family with valuable support throughout some difficult times for him. She built a great rapport with him straight away and it was very helpful for him to have someone he could trust and discuss topics with that he would not necessarily want to raise with his parents.
My son found school challenging and Jennifer helped him to navigate various difficult situations and ultimately to do well in his A Levels and make the move to university. Now, as an older teenager, he is able to recognise when he is starting to feel low and has been fortunate enough that Jennifer has been able to find availability to hold Zoom sessions with him whilst he is some distance away.
I would highly recommend Jennifer as a supportive and empathetic therapist for teenagers and young adults and also as someone who offers helpful suggestions, positive support and encouragement to the wider family.
Jennifer has supported my young daughter and this has been a very positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jennifer if your child needs some support.
