About Jennifer

Jennifer Risebury is a counsellor who works from a person-centred, collaborative stance. She is BACP registered and has three years' experience supporting people through life changes and emotional difficulties. She aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk through worries without feeling rushed.

Many people come with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or grief. Jennifer also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, sleeping and eating difficulties, and challenges related to neurodiversity such as autism.

Background and approach

Her work includes support for career pressures, compassion fatigue, parenting strain and coping with long-term illness. Her approach combines attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused work and client-centred practice. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, naming feelings and building small, practical ways to manage day-to-day life.

Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are also used to help with immediate problems and restoration of routine. Jennifer describes the therapy relationship as a partnership. She listens, reflects and offers gentle guidance while encouraging people to find their own answers.

The aim is greater emotional clarity, improved self-regulation and more confidence in handling difficult moments. She is responsive to messages and journal entries and checks in at various times during the day. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and international clients may take part.

The first session is an opportunity to agree goals and the best way of working together.

Ways of working Jennifer names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how past and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions use gentle reflection to identify unhelpful patterns and build safer ways of relating to others. Emotionally-focused Therapy centres on recognising and working with core emotions in the moment. It helps people name and process feelings that get in the way of connection and self-soothing. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person's experience and pace, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and acceptance so people can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss options with each person and tailor the mix of approaches to their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where priorities and techniques are adjusted as the relationship develops.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats can help fit therapy around work, family commitments and different time zones while keeping the focus on practical progress.
