About Jennifer
Jennifer Gilroy is a counsellor who uses a warm, person-centred approach to help people talk through difficult feelings. She holds BACP registration and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.
Her work often centres on stress, anxiety and trauma and abuse, alongside depression and relationship concerns. She aims to create an open space where clients can speak without judgement and start to make small changes.
Background and approach
Sessions usually focus on practical steps and clearer thinking to ease daily pressure. Jennifer also addresses parenting strain, grief, intimacy-related issues and challenges linked to self-esteem. Additional areas include abandonment, attachment issues, dissociation and post-traumatic stress.
She is comfortable talking about topics such as sexual assault and domestic violence when clients bring them to sessions. Her approach blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused techniques. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused strategies are used to develop coping skills and to set achievable goals.
Together these methods are used to reduce overwhelming feelings and rebuild a sense of control. Clients can expect a direct, compassionate style that balances listening with practical exercises. Jennifer encourages small experiments between sessions and checks progress as work continues.
She supports people who want clearer thinking and steadier days.

How Jennifer works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches clear strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try behaviour changes that ease stress and panic.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try first. This keeps the process collaborative and tailored to what actually helps.
If you are considering online sessions, check which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming session options ensures they match your routine and resources. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so support fits around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to suit each person's situation during remote sessions.
