About Jennifer

Jennifer Phillips is a counsellor registered with the BACP with eight years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who want practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, anger and relationship difficulties. Sessions address immediate problems people bring, alongside longer standing issues that affect daily life.

She helps people who are coping with family problems, infertility and relationship concerns. Trauma and narcissistic abuse are listed among her areas of focus, and she also supports people facing grief, depression and career stress. Jennifer works with issues that often sit together, such as low self-esteem, control problems and codependency.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. That means sessions often focus on what matters most to the person, and on simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions. Conversations aim to be straightforward; she listens, reflects and helps people try out new ways of responding to difficult feelings.

Jennifer uses practical tools and short exercises as part of therapy. For someone wrestling with anger or recurring resentments, this can include noticing triggers, trying breathing or grounding techniques, and rehearsing different responses before real-life moments. Work can range from single-topic problem-solving to deeper work on patterns that repeat over time.

She accepts people who live outside the UK and runs sessions in English. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and experience. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears and helps the client decide what to work on next. This suits people who want a practical, conversational process that centres their concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills. Online work can include guided breathing, body awareness and short attention practices to reduce reactivity. These tools are useful for issues like stress, anger, panic and intrusive thoughts because they target how people notice and respond to feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jennifer will discuss goals and preferences and will work collaboratively to try methods that fit the person's situation. That might mean brief exercises in a session and short tasks to practise between meetings.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Many people find digital sessions helpful for keeping regular contact while juggling everyday demands.
