About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who aims to create a warm, supportive space for people to talk about what matters to them. She holds NCPS as a credential and presents herself as a coach as well as a counsellor. Her style is steady and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward when life feels hard.
Jeni has worked with issues such as stress, anxiety, grief and bereavement, and relationship difficulties. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, parenting concerns, and problems with sleeping and anger. Money and financial issues are listed among the topics she addresses, alongside caring-related stress and addiction concerns.
Her way of working is client-centred and pluralistic. That means she starts by listening and then tailors techniques to the person in front of her. She draws on approaches such as attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives to suit different needs.
Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. Jeni aims to help people build confidence, cope with life changes, and make decisions that feel right for them. She combines talking, reflection and simple exercises so people leave with useful tools.
People who want a calm, non-judgemental listener and a collaboratively planned route forward may find this approach helpful. She accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom, so sessions can be arranged with different time zones in mind.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections and patterns. Online sessions can be a place to talk about how these patterns affect trust and closeness, and to practise different ways of relating.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and working at the person’s pace. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects what they hear, and helps clients make sense of their feelings and choices.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Online work can include simple exercises and homework to try between sessions, such as tracking thoughts or testing new behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and changes can be made as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity during busy periods and when routines change.
