About Jennifer
Jennifer Risebury is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and supports those managing relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with issues such as ADHD, parenting pressures, career worries and coping with life changes.
Jennifer uses a person-centred style that focuses on listening and reflecting back what clients bring. She aims to help people make sense of their feelings and build emotional regulation skills. Sessions include practical conversation, exploration of past patterns, and steps to try between appointments.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused methods to look at how relationships shape current reactions. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused tools are used to develop short-term coping strategies and clearer goals. This mix is intended to suit people who want both deeper emotional work and practical changes.
Jennifer describes the first session as a time to get to know one another and decide how to proceed. She responds to messages and journal entries during the day and will aim to reply promptly, usually by the next morning for messages sent after 8:30 pm. She notes that Sundays and some bank holidays may incur a longer reply time.
She offers sessions by live chat, telephone calls, and video calls to provide accessibility and flexibility. Before booking, it is sensible to confirm which session formats will work best for the individual and their circumstances.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. Online sessions can focus on identifying these patterns and practising different ways of relating in day-to-day life, which is often helpful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on recognising and working with core emotions in the moment. In an online conversation this means naming emotions, tracking how they change during discussion, and rehearsing new responses to reduce reactivity in relationships.
Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are used to build short-term coping skills and clear goals. Mindfulness exercises help with stress, anxiety and sleep, while solution-focused work breaks problems into manageable steps and small experiments to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client's concerns, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Her profile lists live chat, telephone calls and video calls as session formats, so confirm the exact options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study or work schedules, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, and let people avoid travel on busy days.
