About Jennifer

Jennifer Blaney-Sutton is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, low confidence, stress, burnout, depression and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around attention differences and codependency.

Her sessions are conversational and practical. She listens for the patterns that keep causing pain and helps people notice how they react. Sessions often include talking through unhelpful thoughts, practising new ways of responding, and paying attention to bodily experience when emotions feel overwhelming.

Jennifer uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take small steps that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for noticing thinking patterns and changing day-to-day habits. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape present responses.

She describes her work as trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, and supports both neurodivergent and neurotypical adults. Her lived experience of dyslexia informs how she thinks about communication and accessibility in sessions.

People who come to her often want clearer boundaries, better emotional regulation, or help with confidence and identity. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session to see how the approach fits.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and decisions about change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking habits and changing practical behaviours that keep problems going. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress and low self-esteem.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and connection. It can help with relationship difficulties, trust and codependency patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as they go.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is available. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into work, caregiving or travel routines, allow a quieter setting, or make shorter check-ins easier. Speak with the therapist about practical details when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can fit into everyday life.
