About Jennifer

Jennifer Gilroy is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She holds BACP registration in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. Jennifer aims to make each session straightforward and compassionate so people can talk about what matters most to them.

Her sessions commonly address stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people affected by trauma, abuse and grief. Practical problems such as parenting strain, relationship difficulties and intimacy concerns are included in her work.

Background and approach

Jennifer draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns and manage overwhelming feelings. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals that move people forward. When trauma is central, trauma-focused methods guide the pace and focus of sessions.

In the room she keeps language simple and concrete. Conversations focus on what a person is experiencing now and what small changes might help. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings and everyday actions rather than complex theory.

People who contact her often name issues such as self-esteem, anger, eating concerns, attachment and shame. Additional work covers post-traumatic stress, dissociation, self-harm and sexual assault or abuse. Jennifer is also experienced supporting women and LGBT concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients. Therapy is provided online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs and schedules.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work and focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client’s pace. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make sense of their situation in their own words.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with everyday stressors.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences. It aims to stabilise symptoms and build coping strategies while moving at a pace the person finds manageable.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend ways to proceed. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face contact, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments and to continue work from different locations.
