About Jennifer
Jennifer Gilroy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports those struggling with relationship and family concerns and issues around guilt and shame.
Jennifer uses straightforward conversation to help people talk about difficult feelings. She focuses on clear, practical ways to notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions are aimed at making space to name painful memories, worries, or self-criticism and to consider steps that feel manageable.
Her approach draws on client-centred work to follow what each person brings to the session. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test kinder, more realistic alternatives. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with stress and grounding when memories or anxiety feel overwhelming.
Jennifer has experience supporting people after traumatic events and with issues that touch on intimacy, eating, self-harm and sexual assault and abuse. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when these are part of a person's story. Her background includes work with grief and coping with life changes.
People who come to her often want direct, practical steps alongside space to be heard. She encourages small experiments between sessions and checks in about what is and isn't working. To begin, readers are invited to follow the service sign-up steps and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Jennifer commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred work means the conversation follows what the person brings, giving time to describe feelings and experiences without steering the story. This approach is useful when someone needs to be listened to about guilt, shame or trauma. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more balanced alternatives; it can help with anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep guilt alive.She will also introduce mindfulness techniques to help with grounding and noticing the body when anxiety or painful memories are strong. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as needed over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online meetings fit better around work, childcare and daily life because they remove travel time and can be easier to schedule. Telephone sessions can be a shorter check-in when time is limited, while video sessions allow for more conversational and visual connection. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, can help make these practical choices when arranging sessions.
