About Jennifer

Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is an NCPS psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults on common life stresses including anxiety, depression, grief and anger. Jeni also supports people facing parenting pressures, relationship strain and problems with sleep or self‑esteem.

Her style is client-centred and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She draws on different methods to suit each person rather than using a single fixed approach.

Clients bring issues such as addiction, compassion fatigue, trauma and coping with life changes. Jeni also helps with attachment concerns, communication and challenges around blended families or caregiving. She addresses both emotional topics and concrete problems people face day to day.

Work in session often mixes conversation with simple exercises. That might include noticing patterns, small behavioural experiments, or grounding and mindfulness practices to manage strong feelings. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier reactions rather than quick fixes.

Jeni accepts international clients and runs coaching alongside counselling when clients want practical, goal‑focused work. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Her approach suits adults who want straightforward help handling anger, improving relationships, or getting through grief and life transitions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. In practice this helps people who notice repeated relationship tensions or strong responses to perceived rejection. Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and pace, using reflective listening and open conversation to help people understand what they want and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down thinking and behaviour patterns into manageable steps; it is useful for anxiety, anger and sleep problems where small, practical changes can make a difference.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful, try out methods in early sessions, and adjust plans based on how the client responds. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together to match the client's goals and preferences.

Please confirm current session formats before booking since the profile does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. They also let clients use mindfulness or grounding exercises in familiar surroundings and try behaviour changes between sessions in real life. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which structure suits practical needs and agree a plan at the first appointment.
