About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is an NCPS psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach based in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, welcoming space for people to talk about what matters to them. Jeni aims to make sessions feel straightforward and supportive so people can take small steps forward.
Jeni has three years' experience working with a wide range of concerns. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and bereavement, and depression.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing relationship and family tensions, parenting stress, issues around intimacy, addiction, sleeping difficulties, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach is client-centred and pluralistic. That means she adapts methods to each person's needs rather than using the same plan for everyone.
Jeni draws on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused tools according to what will help most. In practical terms sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when that suits, or exploratory when someone prefers to look deeper into their past and patterns. She also offers elements of coaching for people who want more action-focused support alongside therapy.
Jeni works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to her availability. The service uses a cancellable subscription model.
