About Jennifer
Jennifer Risebury is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm, straightforward approach to therapy. She welcomes short conversations to help people decide if therapy feels right. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental and she aims to make the first steps easier for nervous clients.
She draws on person-centred ideas and an integrative style to tailor sessions to each person. That means she listens first, then uses tools that suit the issue and the individual.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding feelings, building emotional strength, and improving self-confidence. Common concerns she helps people address include anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, addiction and grief. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and neurodiversity questions.
Practical life matters such as career changes, parenting pressures and coping with illness are also in scope. Jennifer works collaboratively, encouraging reflection and offering gentle guidance rather than directive advice. She uses journalling and message check-ins between sessions to keep momentum when that helps.
People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging according to what feels manageable. Sessions are arranged to fit varied schedules and she accepts international clients. For many people the first meeting is a chance to agree priorities and a plan, and she invites a short message beforehand if that feels easier than a call.

Online support
Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist pays close attention, reflects feelings, and helps you find your own answers rather than giving instructions; this approach suits issues like low self-esteem or uncertainty about life choices.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift difficult emotional patterns in relationships and within themselves. It is useful for improving emotional regulation and repairing strained connections with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will choose or adapt methods that feel helpful. Sessions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing reflections between meetings. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and practical needs.
