About Jennifer
Jennifer Gourley offers practical help for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She introduces a calm, respectful space where people can talk about painful things at their own pace. Jennifer uses a warm, non-judgemental approach to help people find clearer thinking and small steps forward.
With 11 years of experience and the NCPS credential, she focuses on listening first. Sessions are person-centred and shaped around each person’s needs.
How Jennifer works
This means conversations are guided by what matters to you rather than a fixed agenda. Jennifer also gives attention to issues such as abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family matters, body image and caregiver stress. She supports people dealing with communication problems, divorce and separation, addiction, hoarding, isolation and finding life purpose.
Her way of working is straightforward. She helps people name what feels hard, try out different ways of coping and review what works. Practical tools and simple reflections are offered alongside open listening.
People can expect sessions over video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Appointments are arranged through a short matching questionnaire and scheduled to fit individual availability. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
Person-centred therapy online and how it helps
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a set of techniques. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what they hear and helps the person make sense of their feelings. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes because it builds understanding and self-awareness.The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor will talk through different ways of working and jointly decide what to try first based on your needs and goals. Adjustments can be made as you learn what helps most so the plan fits your pace and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and more conversational flow. Phone sessions can be easier when you need lower bandwidth or a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter reflections, ongoing check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping continuity between sessions.
