She uses a mix of talking and simple exercises to help people notice what matters to them. Jennifer draws on approaches that focus on thoughts, feelings and the patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. Jennifer holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings 16 years of experience in the United Kingdom and has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, obsessional difficulties and phobias.
She also has experience addressing multicultural issues, first responder and veteran needs, and matters linked to HIV and hospice care. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She encourages people to use their own strengths while learning new strategies for coping.
Conversations usually cover current stressors, practical skills, and steps to rebuild calm and confidence. Sessions are offered in English and Chichewa and can be arranged for international clients. Jennifer supports people through short-term problem solving and longer work where needed, adapting the pace and focus to each person's goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jennifer commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying out new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, phobias and depression. ACT helps people notice their values, accept difficult feelings and take action despite worries, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful living.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a plan. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer talk time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, exercises or if someone prefers written conversation. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and travel.
