Jennifer Phillips is a counsellor who uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people feel heard and understood. She is registered with the BACP and has eight years of practical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She takes a calm, straightforward approach in sessions.

Conversations focus on what matters to the person sitting opposite her. She listens without judgement and helps people name feelings and make small, practical changes.

Background and approach

Jennifer has worked with a wide range of issues, including trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and low self‑esteem. She also supports people facing parenting stresses, fertility challenges and intimacy-related concerns. People bring problems such as panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, hoarding and feelings of guilt or shame.

Her work often addresses family problems, codependency and blended family issues. She helps people manage anger, career stress and major life changes. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelming reactions and build steadier ways of coping.

Jennifer combines client-centred listening with mindfulness techniques to help people become more aware of thoughts and bodily reactions. That combination is useful for anxiety, panic and for calming strong emotions after upsetting events. In sessions she will work collaboratively to find what feels most helpful for each person.

How client-centred and mindfulness work online

Client‑centred therapy focuses on creating an open, non‑judgemental space where the person's own priorities guide the work. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own solutions to stress, relationship issues and life changes.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. These practices can reduce the intensity of panic, lower anxiety and help with symptoms linked to trauma or obsessive thinking.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to test methods and adapt them to individual needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps find what actually feels useful.

Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls let people use body language and tone; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check‑ins, shorter reflections or times when writing helps express things more easily. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to access help from different locations.
