Jennifer Brown, BACP

Jennifer Brown is a UK qualified counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings over seven years of professional experience to her practice. She has supported people facing a wide range of emotional difficulties, including low mood, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem, as well as those navigating relationship and career challenges, loss and grief, and other life changes. Jennifer works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and that drawing on existing strengths can help overcome current struggles.

Having been a client herself during training, she understands how daunting the first steps toward therapy can feel, and she aims to create a welcoming space where thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and relationships can be explored. Jennifer practises in an integrative way, drawing from person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches so that the work can be tailored to each individual. This combination allows her to offer both attentive listening and practical techniques to address problems.

Clients describe her manner as warm, down-to-earth, and non-judgemental, and she aims to put people at ease from the first session. She offers flexible appointment options, including evening and weekend times on request, and encourages prospective clients to send a message if available slots do not match their schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jennifer draws from client-centred therapy, which focuses on understanding the person from their own perspective and offering empathetic, non-directive support to help people explore their feelings and values. This approach can be especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and feelings of isolation.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, a structured method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT can be effective for managing anxiety, low mood, stress, and problems with sleep or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the balance of listening and practical techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility for clients with busy lives or those who live far from in-person services. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing appointments to fit around work, family, and time zones. This makes it easier to access regular support and to continue work between sessions when needed.
