Jennifer Risebury , BACP

Jennifer Risebury is a BACP-registered therapist who brings a person-centered, integrative approach to working with a range of emotional and practical challenges. With three years of experience, she focuses on helping people reflect on their feelings, build emotional resilience, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. Her BACP credential refers to registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, indicating adherence to a recognized professional standard.

Jennifer creates a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore concerns such as anxiety, self-esteem struggles, neurodiversity-related issues, relationship difficulties, grief, and other life stresses. Her work is collaborative and tailored to each individual, drawing on therapeutic tools that help clients process emotions, regulate reactions, and gain clearer self-understanding. The goal is to empower clients to make changes that feel authentic and sustainable.

She aims to be responsive to client communications and checks messages and journal entries at various times during the day. Messages received after 8:30 pm will generally be replied to the following morning, and replies on Sundays or some bank holidays may wait until the next working day. Jennifer offers flexible session formats, including live chat, telephone calls, and video calls, to accommodate different needs and schedules. The first session provides an opportunity to get to know one another and determine the best way to work together. Please note that Jennifer is not currently accepting new clients.

Approaches that guide online therapy with Jennifer Risebury

Jennifer draws on attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy to support clients online. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and can be useful for people struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, or relationship difficulties. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and working at the client's pace to build self-understanding and self-esteem, making it helpful for anxiety, low confidence, and life transitions. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people identify and make sense of core emotions within relationships, supporting improved connection and emotional regulation during times of conflict or loss.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and the pace of work so clients can feel comfortable exploring change.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility for busy lives, travel limitations, or differing communication preferences. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, schedule sessions around daily responsibilities, and continue therapy from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to remote delivery.
