Jennifer Risebury , BACP

Jennifer Risebury is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom, with three years of clinical experience. BACP registration denotes recognition by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and reflects her commitment to professional standards. She works in a collaborative, person-centered way that draws on integrative methods to tailor support to each individual's needs.

Her practice focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care, neurodiversity, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and blended family dynamics. Jennifer aims to help clients reflect, process emotions, and build emotional resilience so they can move forward in ways that feel authentic to them.

Her therapeutic style emphasises a non-judgmental, supportive environment where clients are invited to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She is responsive to messages and journal entries and checks in at various times throughout the day; messages received after 8:30 pm are likely to be answered the following morning, and replies on Sundays and some bank holidays may be delayed until the next working day. Jennifer makes efforts to accommodate scheduling preferences and provides sessions via live chat, telephone calls, or video calls to enhance accessibility and flexibility for clients.

Approach-focused online therapy with flexible options

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard to help people explore their thoughts and feelings. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, life transitions, and personal growth because it prioritises the client's experience and pace.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships. It can help individuals and couples better understand attachment patterns, improve communication, and address difficulties rooted in emotional disconnection, trauma, or loss.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stressful thoughts and emotions. It is commonly used to support stress management, regulate mood, and build coping skills for everyday challenges.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods to find the best fit. This shared planning helps ensure sessions feel relevant and focused on what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be conducted by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and to tailor interactions to each client's comfort and communication style.
