About Jennifer
Jennifer Gilroy is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. Jennifer also works with concerns such as grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and issues around self-esteem and eating.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centred and trauma-focused approaches. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused ideas are used to build practical routines and small steps forward.
In early sessions she helps people identify immediate priorities and simple coping strategies. Later work may look at patterns linked to attachment, abandonment, or past harm. Jennifer also addresses topics like guilt, shame, dissociation, and recovery from sexual assault and domestic violence.
Her style is straightforward and task-oriented. People can expect brief experiments between sessions, practical planning, and clear discussion of progress. The work is collaborative - goals and steps are agreed together.
Jennifer offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
CBT, trauma-focused work and practical online sessions
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods in online work. CBT helps people spot patterns in thinking and try out different responses to reduce worry and low mood. Trauma-focused work looks at memories and reactions linked to past harm and helps develop ways to manage strong emotions and flashbacks. She also draws on client-centred and mindfulness tools to support attention and present-moment noticing. Client-centred elements mean the therapist listens and reflects so people can clarify what matters to them. Mindfulness techniques are short practices that can reduce rumination and ground someone during stressful moments. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that focuses on practical steps and experiments rather than lengthy theory. The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel and allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work. It can also make short check-ins easier when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while helping people apply skills between sessions.Areas of expertise
