Jennifer Brown, BACP

Jennifer Brown is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aiming to make the first steps into therapy feel less daunting.

Jennifer draws on several practical approaches, including client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. She listens closely and offers tools to cope with difficult feelings, sleep problems, anger and grief. She also supports people facing career changes, family problems and experiences common in midlife.

Her style combines listening with concrete strategies. Sessions can include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small experiments between meetings, and practising grounding or mindfulness exercises. The goal is to help people make changes that fit into everyday life.

Jennifer is willing to be flexible with appointment times and can offer evening and weekend sessions on request. She encourages people to be honest about what they need and to take the pace that suits them.

People who contact her complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions. This helps match goals and practicalities so work can begin promptly. Jennifer aims to create a space where people feel respected and able to move forward.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say, helping you feel heard and better understand your own thoughts. Online sessions using this approach often concentrate on building trust and making space for your story. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces small practical tasks to test different ways of thinking. Delivered remotely, CBT can include worksheets, thought records and short between-session exercises to try in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with your needs, goals and preferences. Expect a conversation early on about what you want to change and some trial work to see what helps most.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. That said, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use different tools between sessions, such as mindfulness exercises or written thought records, to support change in day-to-day life.
