Jennifer Risebury, BACP

Jennifer Risebury is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing a wide range of life challenges. She draws on person-centered and integrative approaches to offer a collaborative, tailored form of therapy that supports clients dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, addictions, grief, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, neurodiversity, and other issues. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Jennifer aims to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can reflect and unpack difficult thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for them. Her practice focuses on helping people build emotional resilience, explore their values, and develop practical ways to regulate emotions and increase confidence. She uses a variety of therapeutic tools to help clients better understand themselves and make changes that feel authentic and sustainable.

Jennifer is responsive to messages and journal entries and checks in at various times throughout the day. Messages received after 8:30 pm are likely to be answered the following morning, and on Sundays or some bank holidays replies may not come until the next working day. She seeks to accommodate a range of schedules and offers flexible sessions via video call, telephone, live chat, or messaging. The first session is an opportunity to get to know one another and agree on a way of working, though prospective clients are welcome to send a message or journal entry beforehand if they prefer. If someone is ready to explore support, Jennifer invites them to make contact to discuss next steps.

Approaches and online therapy tailored to your needs

Jennifer integrates client-centered principles into her online work, offering a warm, empathic focus that centers the client's perspective and aims to build self-understanding and personal growth. This approach is helpful for people facing low self-esteem, life transitions, or uncertainty about their next steps.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients identify and work with patterns in their emotional responses and relationships. EFT can be useful for addressing relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and intense emotional experiences by helping people name emotions and shift unhelpful cycles.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence in her practice, which explores how early and current relational experiences shape expectations and coping. This approach can support work around abandonment, family dynamics, intimacy issues, and the impact of trauma on forming secure connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as the work progresses so the therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Jennifer is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and to continue therapy during life changes, travel, or when in-person appointments are not convenient.
