Jennifer Risebury , BACP

Jennifer Risebury is a BACP registered therapist who works from a person-centered and integrative perspective. She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which indicates professional membership and recognized training in counselling and therapy. Jennifer welcomes people who are facing a range of life challenges, including concerns about self-esteem, anxiety, neurodiversity, addiction, grief, relationship issues, and the emotional aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Her style is collaborative and tailored to each individual. She offers a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can reflect on their thoughts and feelings, and she uses a variety of therapeutic tools to help them process emotions, build self-confidence, and make sense of their experiences. The work aims to strengthen emotional resilience and support changes that feel authentic to the client.

Jennifer is responsive to messages and journal entries and checks in at various times throughout the day. If she receives a message after 8:30 pm, she will do her best to reply but it may be the following morning. On Sundays and some bank holidays she may not reply until the next working day. She makes efforts to accommodate different schedules when possible and offers sessions by live chat, telephone, or video call to increase flexibility.

The first session is an opportunity to get to know one another and to explore the best way to work together. Clients who prefer to reach out beforehand may send a message or journal entry, and Jennifer will respond when she is able. If a person is ready to explore how she can help, she encourages them to make contact.

Online Therapeutic Approaches and Support

Jennifer works from several evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to online formats. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting clients to explore their own goals and values; it is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and general emotional distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses, which can help with relationship and attachment difficulties by clarifying patterns and building emotional connection. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, offering practical ways to manage anxiety, stress, and overwhelming emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jennifer collaborates with each client to find what fits best. She considers the client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making therapy more accessible for different schedules and situations. These options allow clients to engage from home or other familiar settings, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and choose formats that feel most comfortable for their communication style.
