About Jennifer

Jennifer Risebury is a BACP registered counsellor who works in a warm, collaborative way. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical, helping people talk through anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and other difficult feelings. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental tone and a focus on what matters most to them.

Jennifer uses an integrative, person-centred style that adapts to each person. She listens for patterns in relationships, attachment and emotional reactions, then helps clients make sense of those patterns.

Background and approach

That might involve working through trauma and abuse, addressing addiction or grief, or supporting someone with neurodiversity and ADHD. Practical tools and reflection are both part of her work. She uses mindfulness techniques to reduce overwhelm and emotionally focused ideas to improve how people relate to themselves and others.

Sessions also include problem-focused strategies for sleep, eating, career concerns and coping with life changes. Jennifer is used to communicating by messages and journals between sessions and aims to reply promptly. She notes responses after 8:30 pm may come the next morning and that Sundays and some bank holidays can delay replies until the next working day.

She offers flexible appointment types including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. The first session is used to agree goals and find a way of working that feels right, and she invites people to send a message beforehand if they prefer an initial check-in.

Ways of working Jennifer names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. It involves paced exploration of painful memories and developing coping skills to manage strong emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognise attachment reactions and learn new ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the practical issues you want to address, then suggest which methods to try. That choice is made together and can change as therapy progresses to suit what is helpful.

Online sessions give flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let you work face to face when deeper emotional work is needed. Phone sessions can be a good fit when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins, journalling-style exchanges and more frequent contact between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the same therapeutic approaches available.
