About Jennifer
Counsellor Jennifer Risebury is BACP registered and has three years' experience working with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, among other concerns. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers help for issues such as self-esteem, relationship and intimacy matters, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, and ADHD. Sessions are described as collaborative and person-focused.
Jennifer uses person-centred and integrative ways of working. She listens first, then uses practical tools to help people untangle thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to increase emotional awareness and help people find better ways to cope. Work can include reflecting on patterns, practising mindfulness, and trying short, focused steps to change.
She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships affect current difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when people want to address patterns in close relationships and intimacy. Solution-Focused methods can help set small, achievable goals and review progress from week to week.
Jennifer is responsive to messages and journals between sessions and checks in during the day. Messages sent after 8:30 pm may receive a reply the following morning, and replies may be delayed on Sundays and some bank holidays. She aims to be flexible with scheduling and will try to accommodate reasonable timing requests.
The first session is an opportunity to agree priorities and plan the next steps. Before booking, people are invited to use the platform matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial appointment. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Jennifer uses attachment-informed approaches to look at how early relationships and patterns affect current difficulties. This work helps when problems involve trust, closeness or repeating patterns in relationships and intimacy.She also works in a person-centred way, which means the session focuses on the person in front of her. The counsellor listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits people wanting time to talk things through and to be understood without pressure.
Elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy are used when emotions in close relationships are the main concern. That approach helps identify emotional blocks and rehearse different responses in relationships and intimacy-related issues.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different methods early on, and agree what feels most useful. Clients are involved in choosing steps and reviewing progress at each stage.
Practical benefits of counselling online include fitting sessions around work or caring duties and avoiding travel.
