About Jennifer
Jennifer Risebury is a BACP counsellor who uses a person-centred style to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She keeps sessions straightforward and supportive so people can talk honestly about anxiety, low self-worth, grief, addictions or life changes. She aims to make the first step less daunting by offering a calm, non-judgemental space.
Jennifer listens and reflects rather than rushing to fix problems. Together with each client she works out practical ways to manage emotions and build confidence.
Background and approach
Her way of working is collaborative and tailored to the person in front of her. She draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused approaches to look at patterns in relationships and emotional responses. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when helpful to bring small, achievable changes into daily life.
Jennifer responds to short messages and journal entries and checks in during the day when possible. She does her best to reply to messages received after 8:30 pm the following morning, and messages sent on Sundays or some bank holidays may not be answered until the next working day.
Sessions are offered by video call, telephone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs and schedules. The first session is a chance to get acquainted and decide how to proceed, and she is open to discussing timing preferences to fit a client’s routine. She works from her base in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients who prefer online formats.
Jennifer has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
How different approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help identify unhelpful patterns and practise new ways of relating to others and oneself, useful for anxiety and relationship worries.Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people clarify what matters to them, which can support confidence, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques as needs change. This keeps the work practical and personally relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people keep continuity and access support from different locations and at varied times.
