About Jennifer

Jennifer Chigwende is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns. She works with those dealing with panic, social anxiety, workplace strain, and post-traumatic stress. She is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.

Jennifer believes clients know their own stories and brings a respectful, strengths-based stance to sessions. She encourages people to name small steps and build on what already works for them.

Background and approach

Her tone is straightforward and supportive. Her approach draws on practical therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to teach coping skills and reduce distress. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help people make sense of painful experiences and reshape unhelpful stories about themselves.

Sessions blend conversation with exercises to try between meetings. With five years of professional experience, Jennifer aims to make the first steps feel manageable. She recognises that starting therapy takes courage and offers steady, non-judgemental support.

She works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. People who prefer online options can meet her by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients may be accepted, and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people name and gently process distressing events so those memories feel less overwhelming. It focuses on practical steps for coping with flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, and strong emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. Sessions often include short exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative process is ongoing and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or those who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
