About Jillian
Jillian Whitham is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties, and she lists depression among her concerns. She aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to find small, manageable changes that can help day to day.
Jillian creates a respectful space where people can say what they think and feel. She listens without judgment and encourages honest conversation about what has become difficult.
Background and approach
Sessions are framed around the person rather than a fixed plan, so the pace follows each individual's needs. Her practice draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice. That approach helps when people feel stuck, empty, or unsure about life direction.
It also supports conversations about grief, identity, and how to cope with big transitions. With four years of experience and BACP registration, Jillian blends these styles into practical, straightforward counselling. She works alongside people to identify priorities and try different ways to manage symptoms such as sleeping problems, low motivation, or relationship strain.
Jillian offers sessions remotely in English from the United Kingdom. She uses talking and reflective exercises rather than technical jargon, aiming to help people feel heard and to find steps that fit their everyday life.

Approaches Jillian lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Existential therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and choice in life. It supports people who feel stuck, empty or overwhelmed by change, and it can help when grief or big transitions make life feel uncertain. Both approaches are conversational and focus on understanding what matters to the individual.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jillian works collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will talk through options, try out different ways of working, and adjust based on the person's goals and preferences rather than imposing one method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit counselling around work, family and daily routines.
