Jennifer Gourley helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, depression and major life changes. She is known for a calm and respectful manner that aims to make hard conversations easier to begin. She uses a client-centred approach that places the person's experience at the heart of each session.

That means listening first, then reflecting what matters most so clients can make sense of their feelings. Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and paced to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Jennifer has 11 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. She supports people dealing with abandonment worries, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. She also addresses issues such as blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and struggles linked to addiction or caregiving stress.

Her counselling style is practical and straightforward. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and on small steps that can change how someone copes. Jennifer adapts the pace and methods to each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Clients meet by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, depending on what works best for them. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled from there.

Jennifer holds the NCPS credential, which is recorded as NCPS, and draws on her years of practice to support people through difficult transitions and recurring problems.

Client-centred care adapted for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. The counsellor reflects what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and clearer about their own thoughts and feelings. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries and hard life changes.

Jennifer uses a client-centred way of working to shape online sessions around each person's needs. She will explore goals and preferences together and help decide which ways of meeting make the most sense. Choosing the right approach is treated as a team effort, with adjustments over time based on how things are going.

Online therapy here can happen by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options are intended to make access easier and to fit therapy around everyday life.
