Feeling stuck, or just not quite like yourself recently?

Gentle, practical solution focused psychotherapy and hypnotherapy in-person in Cheltenham and online across the UK.

It doesn’t have to stay that way. I'm Jen, a qualified therapist (HPD, DSFH, MNCH (reg), AfSFH (reg)) at Mind&Burt Therapies. I work with people who want to feel like themselves again, easing anxiety, sleeping better, regaining confidence, and breaking unhelpful habits through a gentle, practical kind of therapy that looks ahead rather than back.

Small shifts in thinking, big changes in what’s possible.

Why Mind&Burt Therapies

How solution focused therapy works

Life has a way of knocking us off course. Maybe anxiety has crept in, or your confidence isn't quite what it was. Maybe you're just going through the motions, sensing that something needs to change but not knowing where to start. 

That's where I come in. 

I help people feel calmer and more themselves again, with a clearer sense of where they actually want to be. You won't be asked to rake over the past or work out where it all went wrong. We start from where you are now, look at where you'd like to get to, and take small, manageable steps in that direction. 

A big part of what I do is show you how the brain actually works - the neuroscience behind why you feel the way you do - and use proven techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), to help you change it. Once you understand what's going on under the surface, change becomes much easier to make. People often tell me they noticed a small shift sooner than they expected. 

Every session is unhurried and built around you.

Another woman with curly brown hair wearing a blue top sits across from her. There is a window with a view of greenery and a plant beside the window. A framed picture of a black cat with yellow flowers hangs on the wall behind the first woman.

People come to me at all sorts of points in life. Maybe you're:

  • Living with anxiety, worry, or a constant sense of overwhelm

  • Struggling to sleep, or unable to switch your mind off

  • Low on confidence, or held back by self-doubt

  • In the middle of a big life change and looking for steadier ground

  • Ready to break a habit, like smoking, for good

  • Dealing with a phobia that's getting in the way.

Whatever's brought you here, you're in the right place. Sessions are in-person in Cheltenham and online across the UK.

About Jen - Qualified solution focused therapist

A woman with blonde hair, wearing a yellow blouse and blue jeans, sitting outdoors on a chair with plants in the background, smiling at the camera.

Hello, I'm Jen Burt, a solution focused therapist, which means I use a blend of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy to help people move forward.

Before this, I spent over 25 years in the fast paced world of corporate marketing. There was plenty of pressure, and plenty of supporting people through change. I came to therapy a little later in life, and I’m glad I did, it’s the most meaningful work I’ve ever done.

I know first-hand that change is possible, and I love helping people find that out for themselves.

I trained with Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT) and work to the standards set by the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) and Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). So you get a genuinely supportive space, but a properly professional one too.

What my clients say

  • “For years, I struggled with my mental health and well-being. I tried everything - anti-depressants, traditional counselling, and CBT - but nothing seemed to truly stick. Working with Jenny has been a complete game-changer and has far exceeded my expectations. Instead of dwelling on the past, Jenny’s solution-focused approach helped me break old, unhelpful habits through small, manageable steps. The sessions are a perfect balance: we talk through practical solutions, followed by 20 minutes of relaxation that is incredibly beneficial. For the first time in years, my mind feels clear, my outlook is positive, and I feel genuinely happy. If you're looking to move forward rather than looking back, I can't recommend Jenny enough.”

  • "My sessions with Jenny have been fab! She has taught me so much about how my brain works and given me lasting techniques for managing anxiety and stress which really do work. In particular, it has helped me to be more positive, happy and confident, which is something I wasn't expecting but which I am really grateful for."

  • “I have struggled with anxiety for many years so when I heard about Jen through a friend I decided to give hypnotherapy a try. I wasn't sure what to expect but Jen made me feel relaxed right from the start. Very shortly after our sessions began I noticed a difference in my everyday life and now I have the tools to manage my anxiety. I feel that this has opened a lot of doors for me and I am much more confident and happier in my own skin. Jen is friendly, knowledgeable and professional and I would highly recommend her."

  • “I started vaping to help me give up smoking but then really struggled to give up vaping. The session helped me understand why I was struggling and why I wanted to give up. I haven’t vaped for over 2 months now. Wish I’d done this sooner both to give up smoking and vaping as it would have been much easier!“

  • "I cannot recommend Jen highly enough. When I first started working with her, I was completely stuck in ADHD freeze. I was procrastinating constantly, had lost interest in things I would normally enjoy, was struggling with chronic pain, and felt as though my nervous system was permanently switched on. My relationships, including my connection with my son, were feeling strained and I felt disconnected from myself and others.

    From the very beginning, Jen made me feel comfortable and understood. She is kind, compassionate, easy to talk to, and has a real appreciation for the impact that stress, overwhelm and life experiences can have on both the mind and body.

    Since having weekly sessions, the changes have been incredible. I'm in a completely different place emotionally and physically. My pain has reduced significantly, and when it does flare up I have the tools to manage it. My nervous system feels calmer and more balanced, my relationships are healthier, and I feel happier and much more connected to both myself and the people around me."
