About Jennifer

Jennifer Risebury is a BACP credentialled counsellor who uses a person-centred, collaborative style. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and calm. Jennifer offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through worries and begin to untangle difficult feelings.

She helps with common struggles such as anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, grief and depression. Jennifer also supports people facing addiction, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges linked to neurodiversity including ADHD and autism. Narcissism appears among the concerns she lists as a focus area.

Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred work and emotionally-focused techniques. Sessions also draw on mindfulness and solution-focused methods to help people build coping skills and clearer thinking. Conversations are paced to suit the individual and focus on useful, practical steps as well as exploring feelings.

Jennifer welcomes collaborative goal-setting so each person can shape what therapy looks like for them. She encourages the use of journals and messages between sessions and aims to respond promptly during working hours. Message replies after 8:30pm may be answered the following morning, and Sundays and some bank holidays can have delayed replies.

She offers flexibility around scheduling and provides live chat, telephone and video call session options. The first session is treated as an opportunity to agree how to work together and to set achievable next steps.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach help people recognise patterns in relationships and practice new ways of relating to others.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard. In remote sessions this can mean more space to talk freely and to explore values, identity and self-esteem at the client's pace.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and process strong feelings that affect relationships and personal wellbeing. When delivered online it supports working through emotional blocks and building clearer emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This includes reviewing what is helping and adjusting the plan together as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into everyday life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for quieter conversations or video work depending on what suits the person. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
