Jen Alexander
Norwich
I am a BACP-registered, person-centred counsellor in Norwich, offering a warm, inclusive space to explore whatever is bringing you to counselling. I am committed to offering an affirming service where people feel safe to be themselves. My lived experience as a trans woman has given me an understanding of how identity, visibility and belonging can shape our lives, relationships, and wellbeing, including the impact of minority stress on LGBTQ+ people. My approach is collaborative, which means I work alongside you to explore your experiences, responding with empathy and honesty rather than directing or diagnosing – grounded in the belief that being genuinely heard can be deeply restorative.
Areas of interest: Anxiety and depression; sexuality and gender identity; confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth; neurodiversity (including late identification); disordered eating and body image; family dynamics and boundaries; sex and relationships.

Tracey Woolf (Counsellor and Supervisor)
Norwich
I’m a queer, person-centred therapist living and working in Norwich and am passionate about working with people wishing to explore issues related to gender, sexuality and relationship diversity. My practice is also neurodiverse friendly/affirming.
Having had counselling myself I wanted to understand more about how the process worked, so I trained in the Person-Centred approach in 2001. Since then I have worked in various settings in the charity/mental health sector and in 2020 decided to devote my time solely to working in private practice, working predominantly with queer and neurodiverse identifying folk.
I work with adults 18 and over.
