“I truly believe that to improve society you have to support people on an individual basis, first.”
- Jen Black, MSc Integrative Psychotherapy
Welcome. I'm Jen Black - a certified and practicing Integrative Therapist. My work combines evidence-based therapeutic modalities that provide strategic, long-term results, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, and Hypnotherapy. I am also a Psychological Counsellor, and UKCP Trainee Psychotherapist. My work has a focus on 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.
In our sessions, you can expect humour and compassion as well as structured and goal-oriented solutions. My intention is to help you create positive change, process trauma, and step away from unhealthy habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR and Hypnotherapy can truly help us to reverse negative thoughts, behaviours, and patterns and build better lives and relationships. We will work as a team to examine, uncover, and identify difficulties, while navigating the way to clarity and simplicity.
I hold an MSc Integrative Therapy from London Metropolitan University. My Advanced Diploma is recognised by the British Psychological Society and is from one of the most accredited Hypnotherapy colleges in my field (UKCHH). I trained as an EMDR Practitioner at the Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute and am in a UKCP Post-Grad program for Outcome-Oriented Psychotherapy at the Awaken School of Outcome Oriented Psychotherapies. 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 proud member of the It’s Complicated international community for therapists, where I am acting Berlin Ambassador in their constellation of European cities. My task is to build a thriving, active, and engaged local therapy community by organising events, fostering connections among therapists and opening the space to curious non-therapists. So if you're already part of the therapist community or you would like to generally learn more about mental health topics, do get in touch, let's build!
