About

About Jennifer

Jennifer Risebury is a BACP registered counsellor who offers a calm, practical space to talk things through. She introduces herself simply and directly, and aims to help people who feel stuck by reflecting with them and offering clear options. Her style is warm and non-judgemental and she invites clients to find what feels authentic for them.

She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, grief, addiction and depression, as well as relationship and intimacy-related difficulties.

Background and approach

Jennifer also supports people dealing with neurodiversity, parenting strain, career stress, and issues around self-esteem and body image. LGBT concerns are listed among her interests, and she is open to discussing identity-related questions in therapy. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person.

Jennifer uses a mix of approaches from attachment-based and emotionally-focused work to client-centred and solution-focused techniques. She combines listening with practical exercises, reflective questions, and techniques to build emotional regulation and resilience. She is responsive to messages and journals, and aims to reply within reasonable times during weekdays.

There are some routine delays for late-evening messages and on Sundays or bank holidays. She tries to accommodate scheduling preferences where possible. The first session is used to get to know each other and agree on goals.

Jennifer encourages people to ask questions beforehand and to use messaging or a journal entry if they prefer an initial note before booking.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches work online with this counsellor

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect how people connect now; it can help with relationship worries, attachment issues and trust. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, which can aid people struggling with intimacy, communication and strong emotional reactions. Client-centred therapy emphasises a non-judgemental, accepting relationship where the person’s own pace and choices direct the work and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Jennifer will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses to match what is most helpful.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when travel or relocation is a factor. Practical benefits include easier scheduling, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that may reduce time spent travelling.
