Therapeutic approaches and accessible online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive environment where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead. This approach helps people who want space to explore their feelings, identity, and personal values while building self-understanding and confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. It is often used to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, break patterns like people-pleasing, and develop concrete strategies for managing stress and unhelpful thinking.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers specific support for processing and coping with the effects of trauma and abuse, helping clients make sense of past experiences and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jennifer works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the plan as work progresses so clients feel involved and empowered in their care.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules. For many people, remote options increase accessibility, reduce travel time, and allow consistent support from registered professionals and therapists regardless of location within the United Kingdom.
