About Jennifer
Jennifer Risebury is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and relationship and family concerns. She also helps with issues such as self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, ADHD and career uncertainty.
Jennifer uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s concerns at the heart of each session. She listens and reflects, and she uses practical tools when they help to clarify feelings and next steps. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and solution-focused methods. That combination aims to make emotions easier to name and to look at how patterns between people affect wellbeing. Mindfulness techniques are brought in to help with grounding and managing overwhelming feelings.
Jennifer is responsive to messages and journal entries between sessions and explains typical reply times for evenings and some holidays. She aims to be flexible about appointment times and will work with scheduling preferences where possible. International clients can be seen and sessions are offered in English.
Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first appointment is booked to discuss goals and how to work together.
How Jennifer uses emotion-focused and attachment work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people put words to feelings and notice how emotional patterns shape interactions. It often suits people who want to understand strong emotions and recurring relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection styles and how they influence responses to stress and closeness. It can help when worries about safety or abandonment affect current relationships or self-view.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss the methods above alongside client-centred and solution-focused tools and agree a plan based on each person’s needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as understanding grows.
The biography lists live chat, telephone calls and video calls as session options, so please confirm which of these formats are being offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caring responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If you have a preference for how you want to meet, note it on the matching questionnaire and it will be discussed at first appointment.
