Jennifer Borrell, BACP

Jennifer Borrell is a UK-based counsellor with four years of professional experience and a BACP credential. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom. She specialises in youth counselling but is happy to work with people of any age.

Her practice is rooted in a client-centered approach, complemented by knowledge of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Jennifer works with a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, family conflicts, parenting challenges, anger management, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, eating-related issues, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She also focuses on related areas such as abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, body image, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, hoarding, infidelity, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame.

Jennifer believes that each person is the expert in their own story and that individuals carry strengths that can support change. She approaches the first steps into therapy with encouragement and respect, recognising that reaching out takes courage and that beginning the process is itself a meaningful achievement.

Client-Centered Approaches and Online Support

Jennifer primarily uses Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that focuses on listening without judgment and supporting clients to explore their feelings at their own pace. This method helps people who are navigating identity, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and the emotional impact of life transitions by building on their existing strengths and insights.

She also draws on elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. CBT strategies can be helpful for managing anxiety, stress, low mood, and unhelpful patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Jennifer collaborates with each person to identify what feels most useful for their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing school, work, or family life. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule, reduce the need to travel, and allow consistent contact with a licensed professional regardless of local constraints.
