Jennifer Clarke , BACP

Jennifer Clarke is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She greets people in a warm, straightforward way and focuses on listening first. Sessions follow a person-centred style that helps people speak openly about what matters to them.

Her work often addresses stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps people dealing with difficult life events like grief, relationship strain, fertility and parenting pressures. Jennifer pays attention to how attachment and past relationships shape current patterns of thinking and feeling.

Jennifer uses a collaborative, client-centred approach. That means she focuses on a person's experience and follows their pace rather than imposing a fixed agenda. Conversations tend to be practical and grounded, with time to notice feelings and try new ways of coping.

Sessions are 45 minutes long and carry a late arrival policy: more than 15 minutes late may be recorded as a missed session and require rescheduling. If technical problems occur, she asks for a quick message so the issue can be managed.

Her background includes training in person-centred counselling and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of professional experience supporting people through midlife challenges, relationship difficulties, and recovery after trauma or abuse.

How attachment and person-centred work translate to online therapy

Jennifer uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early bonds influence present relationships. This approach looks at patterns such as avoidance, anxiety and codependency and helps people notice and change those habits. She also works in a Client-Centred way, which focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client's priorities rather than directing the conversation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust things together based on your goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation helps shape session pace, topics and practical tasks between meetings.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you read facial expression and body language while still attending from elsewhere. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief reflections, check-ins between sessions or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and other commitments, and to keep a steady course of support regardless of location.
