About Jennifer
Jennifer Risebury is a BACP therapist who offers a warm and practical approach to therapy. She invites people to talk about stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions and other life challenges. Jennifer aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward for anyone thinking about counselling.
She works in a collaborative way, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. Conversations focus on reflecting on thoughts and feelings, building emotional resilience, and developing clearer ways to cope.
Background and approach
Jennifer uses practical tools to help people regulate emotions and gain confidence. Her background emphasises person-centred values and an integrative outlook. That means sessions centre on the person and draw on different methods to suit the situation.
Jennifer pays attention to attachment patterns and emotional responses, alongside solution-focused techniques to help move forward. People bring a wide range of concerns, from ADHD and neurodiversity to sleep, eating and career pressures. She also supports those dealing with the effects of trauma, compassion fatigue, chronic illness or major life changes.
Sessions aim to leave people with clearer understanding and usable strategies. Jennifer is responsive to messages and journals and outlines reasonable response times for evenings and some days off. She tries to work around people’s schedules and can discuss preferred appointment times.
The first session is an opportunity to check fit and agree how to work together.

How Jennifer works online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. In remote sessions the counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and careful reflection so clients can explore issues at their own pace and find their own solutions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift core emotions that keep them stuck. Through guided dialogue a therapist helps surface painful feelings and build different ways of responding to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences. That conversation can happen in the first session and be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It reduces travel time, supports shorter check-ins when needed and lets people choose quieter times that suit their routine. If you need specific formats, please confirm which ones are currently offered before booking.
