About

About Jennifer

Jennifer Gilroy is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can speak freely and be heard.

Jennifer uses straightforward, conversational work to help people manage difficult feelings. She listens closely to each person’s story and works with them to set practical, achievable goals.

Background and approach

Her sessions often focus on building everyday coping skills and noticing patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Her approach draws on client-centred principles that put the person’s priorities first. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques may be used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.

Mindfulness-based ideas are offered to help with grounding and staying present when emotions run high. Jennifer also brings trauma-focused ways of working when past events continue to cause distress. Solution-focused methods can help people find small, realistic steps forward during difficult transitions.

She pays attention to attachment, abandonment and relationship themes when these shape a person’s difficulties. Clients who identify as LGBT are included among the areas she lists, and she works in plain language to address issues tied to identity and relationships. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client steer sessions toward what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs space to sort feelings and find their own direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear techniques for testing unhelpful thoughts and trying different responses. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and managing stress in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and tailor methods to each person’s needs and preferences. That means decisions about pacing, homework and practical goals are made together rather than imposed.

The practical benefits of remote sessions are worth checking before you book. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options with the service. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists who work remotely also often adapt exercises for use between sessions, helping people apply new skills in day-to-day life.
