Jennifer Brown

Jennifer Brown is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has over seven years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, low mood and anger. She aims to make the first step into therapy as straightforward as possible for someone who might feel nervous about reaching out.

Jennifer works in an integrative way, drawing on person-centred, cognitive behavioural and other approaches to suit the person in front of her. Sessions combine listening with practical techniques so people can try new ways of coping between meetings. She often supports clients dealing with trauma, grief, relationship strain and career worries.

Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. She encourages people to use their existing strengths while looking at unhelpful patterns that get in the way. This includes practical tools for sleep, managing impulses, and handling emotional overwhelm.

Jennifer can be flexible with appointment times and offers evening and weekend sessions on request. She has worked with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties, compassion fatigue and body image concerns as part of her broader caseload.

She asks people to be patient with themselves when beginning therapy and explains that finding what helps takes time. The focus is on small, useful changes that fit into everyday life and build toward steadier coping.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Jennifer often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small steps you can take toward a meaningful life while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person in front of the counsellor, offering empathic listening and space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that suit those needs. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if something is not working.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online options can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or other commitments and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with her about scheduling needs and any practical adjustments to make sessions work for everyday life.
