About Jennifer

Jennifer Gilroy is a counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse. She holds BACP registration and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Jennifer aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone thinking about therapy.

She creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, so conversations follow the client’s pace and priorities.

Background and approach

That means practical steps and emotional support are offered together. Jennifer blends trauma-focused techniques with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. This mix helps people process difficult memories, notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and build calmer ways of coping day to day.

She also draws on solution-focused approaches to identify small, achievable goals between sessions. Her work extends to a broad range of concerns including depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, eating and self-esteem problems, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment wounds, dissociation, domestic violence and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People who choose to work with her can expect a direct, warm style that balances practical tools with sensitive listening.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Jennifer uses trauma-focused therapy to help people process distressing experiences and their effects on daily life. That work often involves pacing, grounding strategies and making sense of strong reactions so they become easier to manage over time.

She also practices client-centred therapy which places the person's concerns and priorities at the centre of each session. This means conversations follow the client’s lead while the therapist listens, reflects and asks questions to deepen understanding.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and many everyday stresses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches in session, and adapt plans based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pace are collaborative rather than imposed.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus intact.
