About Jennifer
Jennifer Risebury is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, grief, trauma, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life changes. Jennifer also supports people dealing with neurodiversity, bipolar disorder, sleep and eating problems, and carer stress.
She uses person-centred ideas alongside emotion-focused and attachment work. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people make sense of what they are feeling. Conversations often look at how past relationships influence present ones and how to strengthen emotional responses.
Jennifer draws on solution-focused and mindfulness tools to help with practical problem solving and managing strong emotions. She helps clients build small habits that ease daily pressure and improve coping. Work can include short, goal-orientated steps alongside deeper emotional reflection.
She aims for a collaborative way of working where the client’s priorities set the pace. Messages and journal entries are monitored during the day, and responses may be later in the evening or the next morning. Sundays and some bank holidays can have slower replies.
Jennifer offers sessions by live chat, telephone and video calls to make access easier for people juggling family or work. The first session is an opportunity to agree goals and decide how to proceed. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people see how those patterns affect parenting, intimacy and stress responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on recognising and naming strong feelings so they become easier to respond to rather than get overwhelmed by. This method is useful for managing relationship tensions and intense personal emotions.She also uses client-centred listening and solution-focused tools to create practical steps for daily life. Together they decide which approaches to use, adapting as the work progresses. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process based on your needs, goals and preferences.
Jennifer offers remote sessions by live chat, phone and video calls according to her practice notes, which can make it easier to fit therapy around family and work commitments. Before booking, confirm the exact session formats offered at that time. Online meetings can allow shorter check-ins, quieter conversation times, or calls when being on camera is difficult, helping therapy fit into an everyday routine.
