Jenna's degree in Psychology had started her on her journey working with challenging behaviour and thinking processes. For the past 18 years, she dedicated herself to the field of Psychology, starting from her graduation from De Montfort University's Human Psychology programme. Her journey led her to become an integral part of the UKAT team as an experienced Therapist. However, Jenna has since departed Sanctuary Lodge in February 2024.

Ever since, she had been focused on helping those suffering from addiction, as well as from different mental health conditions, heal. Her Mindfulness diploma by the Centre of Excellence was an existential part of her formation as a professional. Jenna had always focused on learning how to support those who needed therapy, as well as being there for the ones who couldn't regain control by their means. This was why she had widened her understanding of the human mind through the Integrated Advanced Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy CP, awarded by Chrysalis and accredited through the National Counselling Society and Royal College of Nursing.

Jenna actively believed this and it underpinned her daily ethos when working within the substance misuse field.
