About Jennifer
Jennifer Risebury is a BACP counsellor who works in a warm, non-judgemental way. She welcomes people who are nervous about starting therapy and aims to make the first steps straightforward. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and finding practical ways forward.
She uses a person-centred stance, listening closely and reflecting what she hears so clients can make sense of their feelings. Jennifer draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotional patterns. She also brings solution-focused and mindfulness tools to help with coping day to day.
Common issues she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and addiction. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, parenting strain, neurodiversity matters such as ADHD, and practical life transitions like career change or caregiving pressures. Financial and money worries are part of the range of topics she can help people untangle.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions aim to build emotional regulation, clearer self-understanding and small, achievable steps toward change. Jennifer encourages people to try different approaches and notice what helps most.
She offers a mix of written messages and live contact, and aims to respond to messages most days. If a message arrives after 8:30 pm she may reply the next morning, and Sundays or some bank holidays can take longer. The first session is used to agree goals and how to work together.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Jennifer often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationship patterns affect current emotions and reactions; this helps with anxiety, intimacy issues and attachment-related struggles. She also works in a client-centred way, giving space for people to tell their story while reflecting what matters most to them so they can reach their own conclusions. Emotionally-focused elements are used to help name feelings and shift painful interaction patterns in relationships.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adapting tools as understanding grows. Changes are made together rather than imposed by the therapist.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also offer different ways to communicate - written messages, phone or video - so people can pick what feels manageable. Please confirm the current session options before booking to ensure the format meets your needs.
