About Jen
My IBD was diagnosed at the age of 10 years old. I have ulcerative colitis; proctitis and distal colitis. I'm a mum to three children, one of whom has Crohn's disease. I am currently training to be a psychotherapeutic counsellor, offering emotional support to newly diagnosed IBD patients and their families. I also work at IBDrelief as office assistant.
