About Jennifer
She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression and grief, as well as issues around addiction, relationships and sexuality. Neurodiversity concerns such as ADHD and autism are also mentioned among the areas she addresses. Jennifer aims to build emotional resilience and greater self-understanding through gentle reflection and practical tools.
Sessions emphasise collaboration. Jennifer listens first, then uses elements from several approaches to suit the person in front of her. She works on self-esteem, emotional regulation, coping with life changes and clearer communication. Her style is practical and down-to-earth rather than overly technical.
Jennifer says she is responsive to messages and journal entries and checks in during the day, with limited responses late in the evening and on some bank holidays. She is willing to discuss scheduling preferences to fit different timetables.
She offers a range of remote contact options and treats the first meeting as a chance to agree aims and ways of working. The goal is that clients leave sessions with clearer insight and practical steps they can use between meetings.

Step 3
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence feelings and relationship patterns. In online work this can help people who struggle with closeness or trust to notice and name interaction patterns and try new responses. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process and focuses on being listened to without judgement. It is useful for building self-worth and clarifying what someone wants from life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree a plan together. This collaborative process means the chosen methods can change as progress or new priorities emerge.
Jennifer’s profile lists chat, telephone and video as ways she makes contact. Confirm the exact session formats before you book to be sure they fit your situation. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work with a therapist from different locations, which can widen choice and convenience when arranging appointments.
