About Jennifer
NCPS, 3 years' experience. Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who lists NCPS as her credential and has three years of practice. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction and sleep problems. Her stated focus includes family-related matters, attachment difficulties, and compassion fatigue among many other areas.
Jeni describes her way of working as client-centred and pluralistic. That means she draws on several therapeutic approaches and adapts them to each person. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, noticing patterns in relationships and behaviour, and practicing practical steps to cope better day to day.
She uses elements from attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect present feelings and connections. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas may also appear depending on what a client needs.
Jeni lists a wide set of concerns she supports, including bereavement and loss, parenting stress, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and ADHD. She also notes additional focuses such as abandonment, blended family issues, body image, caring stress and communication difficulties.
Clients can expect practical conversation, reflection on relationship patterns, and goal-focused steps when appropriate. Her description emphasises working at a pace the client is comfortable with and adjusting methods to suit individual circumstances.
How Jeni’s approaches are used in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present emotions and connections, helping with relationship difficulties and intimacy-related issues. It involves discussing patterns in close relationships and how they influence current reactions.Client-centred therapy focuses on the client’s perspective, with the counsellor offering listening and reflection to help the person clarify feelings and make their own decisions. This is useful for low self-esteem, stress and bereavement when someone needs space to be heard.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and try practical changes to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. These steps can include simple experiments or exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process allows adjustments as needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow people to join a session when being on camera is difficult or when lower bandwidth options are needed, depending on the formats offered.
