About Jennifer
Jennifer Risebury is a BACP registered counsellor who offers a calm, down-to-earth approach. She uses person-centred and integrative methods to help people talk through worry, low confidence, mood shifts and life changes. Jennifer aims to make first steps easier and to create a practical way forward.
She keeps sessions collaborative and straightforward. Conversations focus on what matters to the client right now. Jennifer draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns and emotionally-focused tools to make sense of intense feelings.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, concrete goals and track progress between sessions. This mix is chosen to suit each person’s needs and pace.
Jennifer is comfortable supporting people dealing with anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, trauma and a wide range of life and relationship concerns. She also works with issues such as ADHD, body image, caregiver stress and workplace strain. Her style is gentle and practical, aimed at helping people build emotional resilience.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Messages and journals are checked during the day, with replies after 8:30 pm usually the next morning. The first session is used to agree goals and the best way to work together.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people notice repeating cycles. This approach can be useful for managing anxiety and improving close connections.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying core feelings and how they affect behaviour in relationships. It is helpful for people who want to understand strong emotions and change unhelpful interaction patterns.
Mindfulness practice teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting overwhelmed. It can support stress reduction and improve emotional regulation alongside other approaches.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods together. This is a collaborative search to find what helps you feel steadier and more able to cope.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or busy schedules. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
