About Jennifer

Jennifer Risebury is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, and other concerns such as ADHD and parenting. Jennifer describes her work as person-centred and integrative, and she draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit each client's situation.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on reflecting what matters, untangling emotions, and spotting patterns that cause difficulty. Clients can expect a collaborative style where goals are discussed and adjusted as needs change.

Jennifer uses a mix of methods to help people manage emotions and build coping skills. She brings attachment ideas to understand relationship patterns, and she uses solution-focused steps to identify small changes that make a difference. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with anxiety and sleep, and emotionally focused work supports understanding feelings around intimacy and loss.

Her communication includes checking messages and journal entries during typical working hours and responding when she can. She notes responses after 8:30 pm may occur the following morning, and replies on Sundays and some bank holidays might be delayed.

The first session is used to agree goals and a way of working that suits the person. To begin, the site asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the online options provided.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Jennifer draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions. This helps when trust, loyalty conflicts or repeating relationship patterns are a concern. It is practical work that links feelings to behaviour and choices.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. These sessions concentrate on what can be changed next rather than only on the problem, and they suit people who want clear steps to try between meetings. Mindfulness tools are offered to support anxiety, sleep and emotion regulation through simple exercises and grounding practices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals and personal preference. That collaborative decision can change as work progresses and as different issues come up.

The biography lists live chat, telephone and video as ways she works, but check the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, childcare or travel. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins, video calls allow face-to-face conversation, and chat can suit people who prefer writing. All of these formats aim to help therapy slot into everyday life without adding extra travel or time away from other responsibilities.
