About Jennifer

Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, bereavement and loss, self-esteem and related issues using a client-centred, pluralistic approach. She is registered with NCPS and has three years' experience in counselling and coaching in the United Kingdom.

Jeni frames sessions around what matters to the individual. She draws on different therapeutic ideas and chooses what fits the person in front of her. Conversations are practical and focused on steps people can try between meetings.

Her practice covers a wide range of difficulties. These include addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, sleeping difficulties, anger and depression. She also works with parenting stresses, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns as part of her broad remit.

Jeni pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, and she uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness alongside psychodynamic thinking. That mix helps when people are dealing with past losses, recurring relationship patterns or current life changes.

She also supports people facing specific life pressures such as ageing and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiving strain, blended family challenges, body image problems and eating-related concerns. Practical communication skills and coping strategies are common parts of her work.

Clients who want to explore values, set achievable goals or try coaching-style tools can do that within her counselling framework. She accepts international clients and works in English.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help when people notice repeated problems in close relationships or feel unsettled by loss or separation.

Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's experience and preferences. The counsellor listens closely and follows the pace the person wants, which is useful for exploring emotions and making sense of difficult events.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the first few sessions. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods that suit the client's needs and adjust the plan together as work progresses.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it straightforward to link sessions with day-to-day routines while keeping focus on agreed therapeutic goals.
