Jennifer Risebury is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people make sense of difficult moments. She offers a calm, steady presence and practical support for worries like anxiety, low mood, stress and relationship strain. Her way of working is straightforward and collaborative.

She speaks English and sees clients based in the United Kingdom and internationally. Jennifer keeps sessions simple and person-centred. She listens first, then helps people name feelings and spot unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

She uses a mix of attachment-based, emotionally-focused and solution-focused ideas alongside mindfulness to shape conversations. That means sessions can include reflecting on relationships, practising calmer responses, or setting small, achievable goals. Appointments can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different schedules.

Jennifer is responsive to messages and checks journals during the day, usually replying after 8:30 pm the next morning if a message arrives later. She aims to accommodate time preferences when possible. The first meeting is used to get to know each other and agree how to proceed.

Later sessions typically combine talking, practical steps and short exercises to help people manage emotions, increase confidence and cope with life changes. Jennifer also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction concerns, neurodiversity and issues such as parenting, work stress and body image. Her approach is collaborative and adaptive: clients and therapist decide together what helps most.

Sessions follow the client’s pace, with realistic actions between meetings to build steady progress.

How Jennifer’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns formed in close relationships and try new ways of relating to others and themselves. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on identifying and working with strong emotions. It helps people name feelings, change how they respond, and build more supported emotional connections. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace to help them make sense of their thoughts and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will discuss options and tailor methods to each person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made or circumstances change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want flexible, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
