Jennifer Phillips, BACP

Jennifer Phillips is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about worries and difficult feelings. She encourages small steps and practical changes rather than rushing into labels or assumptions.

Her main ways of working are client-centred therapy and mindfulness therapy. Jennifer helps people understand what matters to them, and she uses mindfulness to build awareness of feelings and reactions. These approaches are used with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety and depression.

She supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy-related issues and family problems, and she also works with grief, compassion fatigue and career-related stress. Additional areas she addresses include infertility and postpartum depression, codependency, control issues and body image concerns.

Jennifer has experience supporting people with trauma and narcissistic abuse, as well as addictions, panic attacks and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. She aims to make therapy practical and relevant, so conversations lead to clearer choices and manageable steps. The emphasis is on listening first, then tailoring the approach to what each person needs.

To begin, she asks people to reflect on goals and safety, then she and the client agree on a simple plan. Sessions focus on what the client brings day to day and on building skills to cope with life changes and difficult moments.

How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on what the person brings into the room. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the person find their own answers, which can suit worries about relationships, self-esteem and career stress.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, feelings and physical sensations. Practising mindfulness can help with anxiety, panic and overwhelming emotions by creating small moments of calm and clearer choice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan together as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or pick sessions that best fit their routine rather than their location.
