Therapeutic approaches and online support
Jennifer draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and stress by changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in a paced way, helping people reduce the impact of past events on their current lives and naturally rebuild a sense of safety and control.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with a registered professional offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are difficult.
