Jennifer Clarke , BACP

Jennifer Clarke is a UK-based counsellor with three years of clinical experience who works from the south coast of England after originally relocating from Southern Ireland. She trained in Person-Centred Counselling at the University of Brighton and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Her practice focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Jennifer adopts a collaborative, person-centred way of working that prioritises an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored at the client’s own pace. She also addresses attachment issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication and control problems, infertility and pregnancy related concerns, midlife transitions, and questions of self-worth and life purpose.

Jennifer’s working hours are Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 2:30pm, and her standard session length is 45 minutes. To keep sessions clinically meaningful, an arrival more than 15 minutes late is treated as a missed session and will need to be rescheduled. Sessions are not extended to make up for late arrival, and missed sessions may be subject to a charge in line with platform policy. If a client experiences technical difficulties or an unexpected issue, she asks to be notified as soon as possible.

Attachment and Client-Centred Approaches for Online Care

Jennifer Clarke uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships and attachment patterns affect current emotional responses and relationship dynamics. This approach can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy, codependency, or recurring conflict in relationships by identifying patterns and developing new ways of relating.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which places the client’s experience at the heart of the work and emphasises empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a non-directive stance. This method supports self-exploration, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and working through grief, anxiety, and depression by allowing clients to move at their own pace.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Jennifer Clarke works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor the way she uses these methods so they fit the individual. Together the client and therapist assess what feels most helpful and adjust the approach over time.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments around daily commitments and to connect from different locations. Many clients find these options improve consistency of care and allow ongoing work even when life circumstances or geography would otherwise make in-person meetings difficult.
