Jennifer Phillips, BACP

Jennifer Phillips is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable. Jennifer has eight years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain, including issues like infertility and trauma-related hurt.

She focuses on practical conversation and listening. Sessions are a place to talk through what matters most right now. Jennifer pays attention to patterns such as control issues, codependency and jealousy, and she helps people notice how these affect everyday life.

Mindfulness techniques are part of her work. These help with anxiety, panic attacks and managing overwhelming emotions in the moment. Client-Centred Therapy underpins the way she listens and responds, so people shape the pace and focus of their own therapy.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including grief, addictions, body image, postpartum depression and compassion fatigue. Jennifer also supports people dealing with family problems, blended family issues and parenting strain, while addressing difficult feelings like guilt and shame.

Jennifer is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions for people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to link needs with the right appointment times.

Approaches to try in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The counsellor reflects what is said and makes room for thoughts and feelings to be named, which can help when dealing with relationship strain, guilt or shame. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelming anxiety and panic and to notice unhelpful patterns such as rumination or compulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaboratively explore goals and preferences, and adapt methods as therapy progresses. This might mean trying mindfulness practices alongside open conversation or emphasising whichever style feels most useful at the time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy life and fewer journeys to appointments. Online work can make shorter check-ins feasible and help people keep continuity when schedules change. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
