About Jennifer

Jennifer Risebury is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) counsellor with three years' experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and other concerns. Jennifer aims to help clients reflect, make sense of difficult feelings and find practical ways to cope.

Her style is collaborative and person-centred. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and move at a pace that feels manageable. Jennifer uses tools from several approaches to help people regulate emotions, build confidence and tackle patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life.

Jennifer often works with issues linked to trauma, addiction and grief, and she supports clients through relationship and intimacy-related worries. She also helps people who are navigating parenting pressures, career stress, chronic health challenges and concerns around neurodiversity such as ADHD or autism.

Day-to-day, Jennifer is responsive to messages and journal entries and aims to accommodate different schedules. She communicates about messages received after 8:30 pm and notes that Sundays and some bank holidays may have a delayed reply. Her approach is practical and steady, helping people leave sessions with clearer steps to try between meetings.

Jennifer practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She accepts international clients and works to make appointments flexible, including options that suit different routines and needs.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how these affect feelings and reactions. It can help when issues stem from trust, separation or attachment wounds. Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the sessions, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection to help people find their own solutions and build confidence. Emotionally-focused work is about noticing and naming feelings and the interactions those feelings create, which can be useful for understanding distress and improving emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan that matches the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, by removing travel time and allowing meetings from varied locations. They also make it possible to use shorter check-ins or phone calls when that suits a day, or video for a more face-to-face feel. The biography lists live chat, telephone calls and video calls as options, so confirm current formats and scheduling when you book to ensure they match your routine.
