Jennifer Risebury, BACP

Jennifer Risebury is a BACP therapist who works in a person-centred and integrative way. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel anxious, low in confidence, or are facing life changes. Jennifer aims to help clients make sense of their feelings and find ways to cope that suit them.

With three years of experience, Jennifer focuses on practical conversations and steady support. She listens carefully and reflects back what she hears so clients can notice patterns and new options. Sessions are collaborative - she helps people set goals and try manageable steps between meetings.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and grief. She also supports people struggling with sleep, eating, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues. Neurodiversity and ADHD are named areas she is responsive to.

Jennifer blends approaches including attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. That mix means she can focus on emotions, on present-day solutions, or on strengthening connections, depending on what the person needs most.

She makes an effort to be responsive between sessions via messages and journal entries, with some limitations on evenings and bank holidays. Jennifer offers sessions by live chat, telephone and video calls to give flexibility for different schedules and needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online, this can mean talking about patterns in close relationships and practising new ways of responding to difficult feelings.

Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and accepted. Sessions aim to give people a steady, empathic space to talk through concerns and build self-understanding, whether via video, phone or chat.

Emotionally-focused work helps people identify and name core emotions and then try different ways of relating or regulating. This approach often suits issues like grief, intimacy-related concerns and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It reduces travel time and makes scheduling during work breaks or hectic days simpler. Different formats have different practical benefits, so please confirm the session options offered before booking; Jennifer lists live chat, telephone calls and video calls in her biography. Online sessions also allow for flexible check-ins between meetings, such as messages or journal entries, which some people find helpful when practising new skills.
