About Jennifer
Jennifer Gilroy uses a client-focused approach to help people facing emotional strain. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for a worried parent who may be reading on a phone.
Jennifer works with people dealing with stress and anxiety. She also supports those affected by trauma and abuse, and people who are experiencing depression.
Background and approach
Sessions are intended to be a place to speak honestly about thoughts and feelings without judgement. Her practical style blends conversation with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try small changes, and build calmer responses day to day.
Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term goals and track progress. When trauma is part of the story, trauma-focused methods are introduced at a pace the person feels able to manage. The emphasis stays on what the person needs now, not on labels or complicated theory.
Jennifer will listen and adapt the approach to fit the concerns brought to therapy. She supports a wide range of issues that often affect parents, including relationship strain, grief, self-esteem difficulties, and coping with life changes. The intention is practical help and steady emotional support while people work toward clearer, more manageable next steps.

Approaches you can use online with a counsellor
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting back to help clarify feelings and priorities. It suits people who need space to talk through parenting stress or emotional overwhelm.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioural changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and managing stress with practical exercises and short-term goals.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and build steadier habits for coping. Those practices can help with rumination, anger and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree on steps that match goals and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around childcare, work and daily life.
