About Jennifer
Jennifer Cromar is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 18 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression and coping with life changes. She welcomes people who want a collaborative, respectful working relationship. Jennifer encourages creativity in sessions and often uses writing or art when it suits the person.
Her approach is flexible and down to earth. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed formula. She aims to make conversations clear and usable, helping people notice patterns and try small changes between meetings.
Jennifer draws on a mix of methods to match different problems. She uses client-centred ways to keep the person’s priorities central. Cognitive behavioural tools can help with thinking and behaviour patterns that increase stress and anxiety.
Emotionally-focused ideas are used to help people understand and work with difficult feelings. Jungian and existential perspectives can be brought in to explore meaning, identity and life transitions when that feels relevant.
Her background includes many years helping people through loss, abandonment issues, adoption and foster-care related concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and codependency. She works with those affected by body image issues, attachment patterns, commitment worries and a variety of personality-related struggles.
Jennifer aims to tailor dialogue and short-term tasks to each person. She supports people who want practical ways to feel steadier and more able to manage everyday life, while also exploring deeper questions when needed.
Approaches you can expect in online sessions
Jennifer commonly uses client-centred work to keep the person’s priorities at the heart of therapy, helping people tell their story and decide what to focus on. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments that reduce anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) is another approach she uses to help people understand and work with strong feelings, which can be useful for issues like trauma, attachment and codependency. These approaches are explained in simple terms during the first meetings so you know what each one involves. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then agree which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses. Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to use writing or creative tasks as part of their sessions.Areas of expertise
