About Jennifer
Jennifer Gilroy is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports clients facing relationship strain, anger, parenting challenges and other life changes.
Jennifer focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through what is happening. Sessions tend to centre on what someone wants to change and small actions they can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on client-centred methods to keep the work grounded in the person's own experience. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness. Where trauma is present, trauma-focused methods are used to address difficult memories and reactions in a paced way.
Jennifer helps people who are dealing with grief, issues around intimacy and self-esteem, eating concerns, and the emotional impact of past abuse or abandonment. She has worked with matters related to guilt, shame, dissociation and post-traumatic stress.
Practicalities are part of her work. She discusses straightforward coping tools, goal-setting and how to manage strong emotions like anger. Sessions aim to be manageable and relevant to everyday life, with attention to what the person wants to achieve next.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. It involves open listening and reflecting back what matters to the client, which helps build clarity about feelings and priorities. This approach suits people who need space to sort through emotions and decisions.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and managing anger through step-by-step exercises and short tasks between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
