About Jennifer
Jennifer Mcpherson (Norman) is a counsellor with 25 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Jennifer approaches clients with respect for their lived experience and strengths.
She aims to support people who want clearer choices and more satisfying relationships. Jennifer encourages people to speak in their own words and to set goals that matter to them.
Background and approach
She uses practical approaches to help with low mood, sleeplessness, addictive patterns, and parenting strain. Sessions are steady and focused rather than rushed, and she pays attention to the ways past relationships affect present life. Her work draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment ideas to build actions that match values.
Attachment-based thinking is used to understand patterns in close relationships. Jennifer also uses client-centred listening to keep sessions collaborative and respectful. Over 25 years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, body image, ADHD, and carer stress.
She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness, and sexual diversity themes such as kink or BDSM. Her breadth of experience helps her adapt to different needs. Jennifer is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She offers sessions in English and sees clients from the UK and internationally. To begin, people follow a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions at mutually suitable times.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and then suggest ways of working. The decision about which methods to use is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and let people keep a steady course of support when in-person meetings are difficult.
