Jennifer Gama, BACP

Jennifer Gama helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, family conflict, grief or depression. She introduces a calm, down-to-earth space where people can talk about what matters to them. Jennifer uses plain language and practical steps so conversations feel clear and useful from the first session.

She sees people as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often focus on identifying values, learning small coping skills and trying new ways of responding to hard feelings. Jennifer uses approaches that aim to change unhelpful patterns while keeping what matters to each person in view.

Jennifer has 16 years of professional experience supporting a wide range of concerns. Her work has included responding to issues faced by first responders, veterans and people affected by HIV or end-of-life situations. She also supports people dealing with obsessions, compulsions, process addictions, self-harm and issues tied to prejudice and discrimination.

Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. These methods are blended to match what a person needs and prefers. Jennifer speaks English and Chichewa and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps that match those values, which can reduce stress and build meaning. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to create safer ways of relating to others and to oneself. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks larger problems into smaller parts and teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviours that keep difficulties going.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with a person about their goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. This is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress to find what fits best.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer meeting from a familiar location, others like avoiding commutes; online work can help adapt therapy to everyday life without changing the focus on practical skills and emotional support.
