Dr Jennifer Mbanu is an accredited clinical psychologist with experience in the NHS, non-profit and private sectors. She aims to create a validating, compassionate and non-judgemental space where clients can begin their process of self-discovery and personal growth. Jennifer has often found that understanding peoples diagnoses and symptoms as responses to what they have lived through is valuable in helping them shed the self-blame they may carry. 

Using a range of evidence-based psychological models such as Cognitive Analytic Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Jennifer supports clients to reconnect with their sense of safety, resilience, and self-worth. She helps clients develop tools to understand their experiences, manage difficult emotions, and navigate life’s challenges. Jennifer works collaboratively with clients to explore the origins and functions of behaviours that might be keeping them stuck and to identify more helpful ways to relate to themselves and others.

Additionally, as a first-generation immigrant, Jennifer has first-hand experience adapting to a new culture while honouring her heritage. Navigating the challenges of finding her place and understanding what it means to belong has shaped her perspective in meaningful ways. Her practice is affirming and inclusive, celebrating all identities and expressions. She encourages clients to bring all parts of themselves to their work together.

Jennifer accepts payment from the following insurance companies: Aviva, AXA, Cigna, Vitality Health, and WPA.
