Jennifer Cromar, BACP

Jennifer Cromar is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression and major life changes. Jennifer aims to make the first contact straightforward and supportive for worried parents and individuals.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. She often includes creative activities such as writing and art when clients want to use them. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building coping strategies that fit day-to-day life.

Jennifer uses several well-known approaches to guide her work. These include client-centred methods that follow the person's lead, cognitive behavioural tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and emotionally focused ideas to work through feelings in close relationships. She also draws on existential and Jungian perspectives when those ways of thinking help make sense of experience.

Her style is respectful, sensitive and down-to-earth. She aims to empower people to make changes at a pace that feels safe. Jennifer will work collaboratively to shape goals and measure progress.

People who value a creative, gentle and practical approach often find her way of working helpful. Before booking, check the current session options to confirm which formats are offered.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely and follows the client's priorities, helping people feel heard and understood and then guiding practical next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; it is often useful for anxiety, depression and stress because it gives clear exercises to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will decide whether to try client-centred listening, CBT techniques, emotionally focused ideas or a blend of methods, and will adjust the way they work as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, for example by removing travel time or allowing sessions during a lunch break. It can also let clients use shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt homework, creative tasks and exercises so they work well in remote sessions.
