About Jennifer
Jennifer Gilroy is a counsellor who uses a client-centred style to help people talk through what feels hard. She works respectfully and without judgment, aiming to make it easier to say what’s on your mind. Jennifer holds BACP registration and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She often works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression. Trauma and abuse are also areas she supports, including sexual assault and domestic violence.
How Jennifer works
She helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem and issues around intimacy. Jennifer draws on practical methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses mindfulness techniques to calm overwhelming feelings and trauma-focused ideas to work through difficult memories.
Solution-focused strategies help people set small, achievable steps forward. Sessions are built around what each person needs. Jennifer listens first, then agrees on goals and ways to work together.
The pace is matched to the client so progress feels manageable rather than rushed. She accepts people from the UK and internationally and conducts sessions in English. People who are juggling busy lives often find the flexible session formats helpful.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Jennifer aims to make that step clearer and more possible.

How Jennifer's Approaches Work Online
Jennifer draws on client-centred work that focuses on your experience and what matters most to you. This approach means sessions begin with listening and building a plan together, rather than imposing a rigid structure.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and often involves short at-home tasks that suit people wanting clear steps to feel better. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events keep affecting daily life; these approaches aim to gently process difficult memories and reduce their day-to-day impact.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. This may mean blending client-centred listening with CBT exercises and mindfulness work over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when face-to-face-style conversation helps progress, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping momentum between sessions.
