People who come to her can expect a calm, respectful space to talk things through. With 25 years of professional experience, Jennifer draws on several evidence-informed approaches. These include trauma-focused work, cognitive behavioural techniques, and attachment-based thinking.
She adapts methods to what each person needs rather than using a fixed recipe. Her way of working aims to increase coping skills, clarify values and goals, and reduce unhelpful patterns. Jennifer encourages experiments between sessions so people can test what helps them in real life.
Conversations may include exploring emotions, practical planning, and rebuilding trusted connections.

She offers sessions in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.

Approaches you can use in online sessions
Jennifer draws on trauma-focused work to help people process distressing events and reduce their hold on daily life. This approach looks at how traumatic experiences affect thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers ways to gradually make those memories less overwhelming.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with ongoing stress because it focuses on living a meaningful life rather than only reducing symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. That conversation shapes whether trauma-focused techniques, ACT, attachment ideas or a mix of methods is used so the plan fits you.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in is enough. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, journalling-style reflection, or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
