She also helps with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction concerns, grief, sleep and eating challenges, and issues linked to self-esteem and life changes. Her approach is collaborative and respectful, with a focus on practical steps that feel doable for each person.
Jennifer values each person's expertise about their own life. She works in a way that acknowledges strengths and builds on what already helps.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to be straightforward and calm, so people can feel heard and noticed without jargon getting in the way. Her practice draws on therapies that teach new skills and ways of thinking. Sessions often include gentle challenges, practical strategies and attention to emotional experience.
The goal is to reduce patterns that cause distress and increase coping options that fit daily life. With 25 years of professional experience and BACP registration, Jennifer brings long-term practice to common and complex problems. She has supported people with attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, ADHD, chronic illness and a range of relationship and identity concerns.
That varied background informs a flexible style. People meet Jennifer to talk through specific problems or to work on broader life patterns. She offers a steady, patient presence and helps clarify next steps.
Her work aims to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress, which often helps with anxiety, sleep and mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together you will try methods and adapt them over time so the plan fits your life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets you read facial cues and have a more traditional conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels easier. Messaging and live chat are useful for short check-ins, written reflection and for people who prefer not to speak each time. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping a steady pattern of support.
