About Jennifer
BACP. Jennifer Risebury has three years' experience as a BACP registered counsellor working in person-centred and integrative approaches. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, addiction, loss, low self-esteem and other life challenges. Jennifer works collaboratively, encouraging reflection and practical steps to manage emotions and improve everyday coping.
Jennifer uses a blend of methods drawn from attachment-based work, emotionally-focused practice, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. She aims to help clients understand patterns in relationships and feelings, and to develop clearer ways of responding to difficult situations. The emphasis is on practical reflection and building emotional resilience.
Sessions cover a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, mood difficulties, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, career stress and ADHD-related challenges. Additional areas noted include adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress and communication problems.
Jennifer describes her style as collaborative and person-centred. She uses conversation, journaling and reflective exercises to help people make sense of their experience. She aims to support people to regulate emotions and build confidence so they can make changes that feel manageable.
She responds to messages and journal entries during the day and will usually reply the next morning for messages received after 20:30. Sundays and some bank holidays may have delayed responses. The first session is used to agree how to work together and plan next steps.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps when patterns from past relationships affect current connections and emotional reactions. Client-centred counselling emphasises the client's perspective and uses reflective listening to help people explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions in the moment and helps people notice and change unhelpful emotional patterns in relationships and within themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process that may combine elements from different approaches as needed.
The biography lists live chat, telephone calls and video calls as available session methods, but it is sensible to confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to be on camera or use audio or text instead.
