Jennifer Clarke is a counsellor who trained in person-centred counselling at the University of Brighton and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Her page notes a lateness policy to keep appointments clinically meaningful.

Background and approach

Jennifer aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace. The focus is on listening closely and responding to what each person needs in the moment.

Her practice commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. Other areas she addresses include self-esteem, anger, coping with life changes and issues around self-love.

Jennifer uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present ones. She pairs that with a client-centred way of working that keeps the person’s goals central. Together this allows practical conversation about patterns, needs and next steps.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. If technical problems arise she asks clients to message as soon as possible so a solution can be found. The service operates on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How attachment and person-centred work translate online

Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape present feelings and reactions. Online sessions let the counsellor and client talk through patterns that affect current bonds, such as trust, closeness or fear of rejection, and consider small changes that can improve connections.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. The counsellor listens with curiosity and reflects what is said so people can clarify their feelings and make choices that fit their life. This approach often suits conversations about self-esteem, life purpose and coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the client to decide what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can start in the first few sessions and adapt over time.

Online formats bring practical benefits. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation and are good for deeper discussions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter reflections or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while staying connected with registered or accredited professionals.
