About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is an NCPS psychotherapeutic counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief and loss, parenting strains, self-esteem problems and a range of other concerns. Sessions focus on practical ways to notice repeating thoughts and habits and try different responses.
Jeni uses a client-centred approach and draws on several therapies to match what each person needs. She often works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with small behaviour changes. She also uses attachment-based ideas and mindfulness practices when these suit a person’s goals.
In sessions she aims for clear, structured conversations. People can expect to talk about recent situations, notice common reactions, and plan specific small steps to try between meetings. The emphasis is on what helps in everyday life rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes supporting people through relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addiction-related concerns, sleeping difficulties, anger and bereavement. Additional focus areas listed include body image, caregiver stress, codependency, blended family issues and coping with life changes such as divorce or ageing.
Jeni works in English and accepts international clients. She offers coaching alongside counselling for people who want focused support on practical goals. Before booking, clients are asked to check the current session options and subscription details so they understand how sessions are scheduled and paid for.
How Jeni uses approaches online
Jeni commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based work when helping people online. CBT focuses on spotting recurring thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce distress and improve coping. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and communication, which can be helpful for relationship and intimacy concerns.She also uses client-centred techniques that prioritise the person's priorities and lived experience. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals and try methods suited to the person's aims and preferences rather than following a single method rigidly.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work or family routines, having shorter check-ins when time is limited, and choosing options that reduce travel time. These practicalities can make it easier to practise new skills between sessions and to maintain regular appointments alongside everyday commitments.
