About Jennifer

Jennifer Risebury is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm, straightforward approach to therapy. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, self-esteem and other struggles. Jennifer’s practice includes support around addiction, trauma, grief and relationship concerns. She is noted for working with issues that often appear alongside neurodiversity and ADHD, and she lists men's wellbeing among her interests.

Her sessions are collaborative and rooted in person-centred listening. She helps people reflect on what matters, name difficult feelings and try new ways of responding. Conversations focus on what is useful right now and on building simple skills to manage emotions and everyday pressures.

Jennifer uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when feelings and closeness are getting stuck, and mindfulness methods teach ways to notice thoughts without getting pulled in.

She keeps communication flexible, responding to messages and journal notes during the day and aiming to reply after 8:30pm when needed. Jennifer aims to fit sessions around practical schedules and she says the first meeting is a chance to agree how best to work together.

Sessions can be arranged by following the platform process to match and schedule. Jennifer accepts international clients and carries three years of professional experience under her BACP registration.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current patterns of relating; online conversations can help identify these patterns and try new ways of connecting. Client-centred, or person-centred, therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you so you can make sense of things and decide on next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to strong feelings in close relationships and helps people recognise and shift unhelpful cycles.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. Jennifer will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Her biography lists live chat, telephone calls and video calls as session options, but please confirm current formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It also gives flexibility for those who prefer not to use video, or who find writing thoughts in a journal helpful between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflective tasks and mindfulness practices for online sessions so they remain practical and relevant to everyday life.
