About Jennifer
Jennifer Mcpherson (Norman) is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anxiety, depression and codependency. She also supports those facing grief, addictions, sleep or eating concerns, and life changes such as parenting or illness.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and looks for the strengths already present. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings as well as clearer ways to understand feelings and patterns.
Jennifer draws on several psychological approaches to shape sessions. That can mean using skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions, working with attachment patterns that influence relationships, or helping someone clarify values and small actions that match those values. The exact mix reflects what the person needs at the time.
She aims to help people who keep putting others first, struggle to set boundaries, or feel overwhelmed by someone else’s moods or crises. Conversations can cover how codependent patterns developed, and what practical changes might reduce stress and regain a sense of self. Work can include short skills practice or deeper exploration of past experiences.
Sessions are carried out in a professional setting in the UK and are offered in English. For people preparing to start, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session so they can agree goals and practical arrangements.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and patterns where someone feels stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns continue to affect current relationships and helps people notice and change those interaction styles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be revisited as things change during therapy.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt techniques such as short skills practice, thought records, or values exercises to work over distance so progress can continue between meetings.
