About Jillian

Jillian Whitham is a counsellor who works from a client-centred and existential perspective. She offers calm, straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Her approach is conversational and down-to-earth.

She aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to find practical next steps. Jillian has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She focuses on everyday pressures such as work stress, sleep problems, career questions and the impact of life changes. Relationship struggles, grief and family tensions are also common topics she helps people address. She uses client-centred methods to listen closely and follow what each person brings to the room.

This means the pace and focus are shaped by the person's concerns, not a fixed checklist. Existential ideas are used to help people look at meaning, choice and values when life feels confusing or stuck. Sessions are intended to be respectful and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on practical discussions about next steps.

Jillian offers empathic listening while helping people clarify goals and make changes that fit their day-to-day lives. People usually come with specific problems like ADHD-related challenges, body image worries, or chronic illness stress, but sessions also support broader issues such as emptiness, guilt, forgiveness and isolation. The aim is to help someone feel more able to manage feelings and decisions over time.

How client-centred and existential approaches work online

Jillian draws on client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. This approach helps when people want a supportive space to talk through feelings, make sense of stress and build confidence.

She also uses existential ideas to look at life choices, values and meaning when someone feels stuck or uncertain. This can help with questions about purpose, identity, big transitions and how to live in line with personal values.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jillian will work with each person to identify what fits their needs and goals, and she adapts her style as the work progresses so the sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be a shorter check-in without video, and chat or messaging suit people who prefer typed replies or need flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy days while keeping the focus on the practical work of counselling.
