About Jillian
Jillian Whitham is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with individuals dealing with low self-esteem, depression, relationship worries and life changes. Jillian makes time to listen and to help people feel heard in a calm, non-judgemental way.
She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience at the heart of each session. That means sessions are led by what the client brings, with the counsellor reflecting and responding to what matters most right now.
Background and approach
Jillian also draws on existential ideas to help people notice values, find meaning and face life choices with clearer thinking. Jillian has four years of professional experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. She supports people through common issues such as grief, sleeping difficulties, career uncertainty and coping with chronic illness.
She also helps with more specific concerns like attachment and abandonment worries, body image and impulsivity. Sessions can cover practical coping skills and gentle reflection on feelings. Conversations often include exploring small steps people can try between meetings.
Jillian aims to offer straightforward tools for everyday life, alongside longer conversations about what matters most. Work is done online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Jillian uses client-centred therapy to place the person’s experience at the centre of every session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and offering empathy so people can explore their feelings and make choices at their own pace. It can help with anxiety, self-esteem and relationship worries.She also draws on existential therapy to support conversations about meaning, values and life direction. Those sessions look at questions such as what matters most now and how to live in a way that fits one’s priorities, which can be useful when coping with big life changes or feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jillian will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting the focus as needs and goals change. The therapist aims to make the process flexible and responsive to individual preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow fuller conversation when time and bandwidth permit. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when camera use is difficult. Live chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflective work between longer meetings. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life while keeping continuity of care with a registered or accredited professional.
