About Jennifer

Jennifer Cromar is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and more than 18 years of professional experience. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression and coping with big life changes. Jennifer aims to make the first conversation straightforward and respectful so people feel heard quickly.

Her work often suits people who enjoy creative outlets; she welcomes using writing or art alongside talk therapy when that helps. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a single method. Jennifer says she will tailor conversations and a plan to the individual's situation.

Jennifer draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches including client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. She can also use emotionally-focused and exploratory methods that look at meaning and personal patterns. These approaches are used to help people manage feelings, sort out relationships, and find clearer next steps.

Her style is calm, compassionate and practical. She aims to help people develop coping tools and notice small changes that matter day to day. The emphasis is on supporting and empowering the person as they make changes.

Jennifer practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Her profile notes that international clients are not accepted, so local arrangements apply. To begin, readers are asked to use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with her.

Step 3

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so the person sets the pace and themes. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk things through and name what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, mood difficulties and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, supports people in identifying and processing strong emotions and can help with attachment and relationship-related distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and suggest methods that fit. Decisions about which approaches to use are collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also make it simpler to include creative tools like writing exercises between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt worksheets, reflective tasks and discussion to an online setting to help people make steady changes.
