About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is an NCPS psychotherapeutic counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem and motivation. Jeni also supports people managing change, addiction-related worries, sleeping problems and issues linked to trauma and abuse.
Jeni uses a client-centred, pluralistic approach. That means she adapts sessions to the person in front of her and draws on a range of therapy methods rather than relying on a single technique. In practice this looks like listening for what matters, offering practical tools, and checking in together about what helps.
She often brings in elements of attachment-based work to look at patterns in relationships and psychodynamic ideas to consider past influences on present feeling. Cognitive behavioural strategies and mindfulness practices are used when helpful for managing anxious thinking, improving sleep, or reducing stress.
Sessions are paced to each person's needs. Jeni supports people who are coping with life transitions, parenting strains, compassion fatigue, abandonment concerns, body image struggles, and other relational stresses. She also works with those dealing with bereavement and cancer-related adjustment.
People can expect straightforward talk, reflective listening, and practical exercises when needed. Jeni accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps and book their first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Jeni commonly draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence current connections. This approach can help when trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems are a concern. She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening, reflection and following the client's priorities; this supports people who want a conversational space to work things out. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques are introduced when useful for managing anxious thoughts, improving sleep routines or tackling unhelpful behaviour patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeni will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts plans so sessions remain relevant and practical for the individual.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and avoiding travel time, which can make regular meetings easier to keep. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, which can help when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed.
