How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values; this can be useful for anger, stress and life changes. She also draws on Attachment‑Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions, which often helps with intimacy and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify upsetting thought patterns and practise different responses in day to day life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore a person’s goals, history and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs become clearer.

Online work can also make it easier to practise techniques between sessions and to bring real life examples into conversation.
