About Me
I'm Jen Black - a UKCP Trainee Psychotherapist. My work combines evidence-based therapeutic modalities that provide strategic, long-term results, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, and Hypnotherapy. My Practice has a focus on the symptoms of Trauma, Addictions, and Anxiety - and I also love to support clients with stress management, confidence and creativity. An Expat based in Berlin, my private practice is online with international clients. As a former Executive Creative Director, I had been directing teams for 45+ International Brands since 1996. After over two decades in the Advertising industry, I have extensive creative, leadership and mentoring skills, and understand how difficult professional and personal lives can be to balance. I find that therapy is a form of creativity and activism, and particularly love to work with members of FLINTA*, BIPOC and Expat communities. I get to help clients strengthen their confidence and develop their vast emotional intelligence, while helping them de-program from negative conditioning.

Education & Experience
I hold an MSc Integrative Therapy from London Metropolitan University, and am in a Post-Graduate program at the Awaken School of Outcome Oriented Psychotherapies. I trained as an EMDR Practitioner at Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute and am a member of EMDR Europe. My Advanced Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (UKCHH) is recognised by the British Psychological Society. On my pathway to 2025 UKCP accreditation, I follow the UKCP code of ethics and standards, allied with a certified UKCP supervisor to continuously develop my practice. I am also a Volunteer Psychotherapist at Cadus and Sea Watch, where I support activists in crisis situations with their mental health.
