Dr Jane Fenn Professional Profile


I moved from London 11 years ago to live and work in Kent. I have a management background and have worked in the fashion industry and advertising. I set up and ran three companies before studying specifically in psychology (University of East London) to enhance my organizational management abilities. I view myself as entrepreneurial in approach as both a therapist and a consultant.
When I first came to Kent I worked as part of the community mental health teams as a therapist and developed my private practice. I lectured at the University of Kent on the certificate and diploma courses and also delivered lectures on Professional Ethics. I worked on confidential specialist projects in the NHS and with KCC Emergency Planning as a consultant and trainer. I have worked as a counsellor, supervisor and trainer for several organisations. I am a senior BACP accredited counsellor and have two degrees in psychology (BSc hons and MSc) and a Doctorate in Psychotherapy by professional studies (Middlesex University/Metanoia Institute).
During the process of my doctorate research I developed the unique model of the Therapeutic Entrepreneur© (2007) and am delivering workshops on the subject Locally, Nationally and Internationally. My research continues and builds on my past research experience which focuses on Social Regeneration from people perspective (1997 - to date), A Client Centered Approach to Eating Disorders (1997). Maintenance Factors in Anxiety Disorders (1995). In 2009 I will be working on a European Project exploring the role of Creativity for disadvantaged social groups which builds on my work in the UK.
In recent years I have worked at supporting and helping organisations to develop their teams and reduce work place stress. I have setup four successful community based services for disadvantaged groups and philanthropic activity is still very much part of my business approach. Since 2009 I have been the co-ordinating European projects and working in Europe as a consultant.
