Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell

Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach based in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential and offers a warm, supportive space for people to talk through what matters to them. Jeni focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, bereavement and loss, relationship and family difficulties, motivation and self-esteem concerns.

With three years of experience, Jeni draws on a range of therapeutic methods to match each person's needs. She describes her work as client-centred and pluralistic, meaning she adapts techniques to suit the individual rather than following one fixed method. This practical flexibility helps people address immediate problems and set realistic goals.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps. Jeni helps clients spot patterns that cause pain, try new behaviours, and practice skills for everyday life. She also supports people facing longer-term issues such as trauma, addiction, or ongoing relationship stress.

People come to Jeni for help with intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, depression and coping with life changes. Additional areas she pays attention to include attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress.

Her approach mixes attachment-based thinking, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness with psychodynamic reflection and solution-focused planning. This blend aims to balance talking about past patterns with practical strategies for now.

How Jeni’s approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people spot how they seek connection and manage fear in close relationships, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment or attachment concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what matters to the person in the room. The counsellor listens without judging and helps people find their own pace and direction, which works well for grief, low self-esteem and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It offers practical tools and exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood day to day.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. Jeni uses a collaborative process to decide which approaches fit a person’s goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts methods as needed so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to attend around work, fit meetings into a busy day, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when that suits. Talk with Jeni about what will fit your schedule and needs so sessions can be shaped to everyday life.
