About Jennifer

Jennifer Phillips is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, family problems and trauma. Her listed concerns include codependency, infertility and narcissistic abuse among other relational and emotional difficulties.

In sessions she uses client-centred ideas, focusing on what matters to the person in front of her. That means listening closely, reflecting what is said and helping people notice their own choices. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with anxious thoughts and overwhelming emotions.

Jennifer supports people who struggle with self-worth, people-pleasing and trouble setting limits. She also works with those coping with grief, compulsions, panic and the emotional fallout of infidelity or betrayal. Practical coping strategies are combined with time to talk through feelings.

Her approach is collaborative and plain. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck, like putting others first or avoiding conflict. Then she introduces small, manageable changes to test in day-to-day life.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what they want to change. Sessions aim to build clearer boundaries, reduce overwhelm and increase choices in relationships. For international clients and English speakers she offers services through the platform and asks people to use the introductory matching steps before arranging a first appointment.

How sessions work

How her client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s priorities at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the client clarify goals and next steps. This approach suits people who need space to talk through relationship patterns, self-worth issues or emotional reactions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that help with anxiety, panic and overwhelming feelings. These practices are short exercises used between sessions to reduce rumination and to bring focus back to the present moment.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That means deciding together whether more listening, practical skills or mindfulness is best at any point.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera, or who want to practice skills in the environment where issues happen.
