About Jennifer
Jennifer Risebury is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered counsellor who offers a calm, straightforward place to start therapy. She aims to make the first steps less daunting and helps people talk through worries like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life changes.
She works in a collaborative, person-centred way. Sessions are used to reflect on feelings, notice patterns and try small practical changes. Jennifer draws on different approaches, matching tools to what each person needs rather than following a single method.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, ADHD and codependency. She also supports clients dealing with career stress, chronic illness, caregiver fatigue and neurodiversity-related challenges.
Jennifer aims to help people build emotional resilience and self-confidence. In the room she focuses on clear conversation, emotion work and simple strategies to manage difficult moments. Clients leave with a better understanding of themselves and steps they can use between sessions.
She is responsive to messages and journal entries and tries to reply promptly, though replies after 8:30 pm may wait until the next morning and Sundays or some bank holidays can be slower. Jennifer can be flexible with appointment times, so clients with specific scheduling needs are encouraged to mention them when booking.
How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on understanding patterns from close relationships and how they affect feelings now. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, name the feelings they bring up and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.Client-centred therapy gives people a space where they lead the conversation and the counsellor reflects back what they hear. This approach supports self-understanding and is useful for worries like low self-esteem, life changes and relationship concerns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people sit with strong emotions and look at what those emotions are asking for. It is often used with issues around intimacy, attachment and intense emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and the focus becomes clearer.
Many people find online counselling fits into busy lives because it removes travel time and makes it easier to attend during a lunch break or between commitments. Jennifer offers a mix of live chat, telephone and video options, so please confirm the current session formats before booking. These options can make it easier to keep regular sessions and practise skills between meetings.
