About Jennifer

Jennifer Risebury works on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and relationship and intimacy-related issues using person-centred and integrative approaches. She is BACP registered and has three years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.

Jennifer uses a collaborative, client-centred style. She helps people talk through difficult feelings, reflect on patterns, and unpack what is happening in their lives. Sessions are practical and conversational, with gentle reflection and occasional exercises to try between meetings.

She pays attention to attachment and emotional patterns, which can be useful for relationship difficulties and issues with trust. Jennifer also works with neurodiversity and with concerns such as self-esteem, sleep and eating problems, and coping with life changes. She lists additional focus areas including adoption and foster care, caregiver stress and chronic illness issues.

Her approach draws on emotionally focused work and solution-focused techniques when useful. Mindfulness and present-moment noticing are used to help manage anxiety and distress. Jennifer says the first session is a chance to get to know each other and to find the best way to work together.

She is responsive to messages and journal entries and notes typical reply times outside evenings and some bank holidays. Jennifer aims to accommodate different schedules and mentions options for live chat, telephone calls or video calls to increase accessibility.

If someone wants to start, the recommended route is to use the platform matching process to schedule an initial session and discuss goals and preferences.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect current connections; online sessions can be used to discuss those patterns and practise different ways of relating. Client-centred counselling concentrates on the person's experience and on being listened to without judgement; this approach helps people feel heard and understood in a conversational online session. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and interaction patterns in relationships and can be used to identify and name feelings and to try new responses over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work with the person to agree which methods to try, based on their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as sessions proceed. This is a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.

The biography lists live chat, telephone calls and video calls as options, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel or family commitments, and telephone or chat sessions can suit shorter check-ins or times when camera use is not practical. Talk with the counsellor at the first session about scheduling and the best format to meet practical needs.
