About Jennifer
Jennifer Risebury is a BACP counsellor who aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, stress, self-esteem and other life difficulties. Jennifer uses straightforward language and listens closely to what matters to each person.
With three years of experience, she blends person-centred listening with practical tools. Sessions focus on helping clients reflect, process emotions and build emotional resilience.
Background and approach
She often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Jennifer adapts her approach to each person’s needs. She may draw on Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to clarify feelings or solution-focused methods to set small, achievable steps.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help with managing worry and improving sleep. People contact her about a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, neurodiversity and career challenges. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain and body image difficulties.
Sessions can be by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, which helps fit therapy into busy days. Messages and journals are checked during the day, with replies after 8:30 pm likely the next morning and some delays on Sundays and bank holidays. The first session is used to get to know each other and agree how to work together.
If preferred, people can send a message or journal entry before booking to ask questions and try a brief introduction.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the journey and is decided together. Jennifer will talk about different methods, check what feels helpful and adapt her plan to the person's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
