About Jennifer
Counsellor registered with the BACP with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. Jennifer Brown helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship strain, career difficulties, grief and life changes.
Jennifer uses an integrative, counselling-focused approach. She mixes client-centred techniques with cognitive behavioural methods and elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions include listening, practical strategies and skills practice to help people respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.
She commonly works on problems such as sleep disruption, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles. Jennifer also addresses attachment concerns, body image, dissociation, separation and domestic violence issues. She names impulsivity, guilt and shame, loneliness and midlife concerns among other focus areas.
Her way of working is direct and down-to-earth. She aims to help people identify small, manageable steps and rehearses skills during sessions. Where useful, she combines reflective talking with structured exercises from CBT, DBT and mindfulness practices.
Sessions can be scheduled outside normal hours when needed. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Jennifer uses evidence-based approaches in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small steps that move someone toward how they want to live, which can help with anxiety, low mood and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers structured exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can be useful for impulsivity, anger and emotional overwhelm.Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try techniques that suit the person. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as sessions progress.
Please confirm the exact session formats when you book, as current options are listed at sign-up. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people access therapy from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use a variety of approaches so practical arrangements and what is taught in sessions can match everyday needs.
