Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell , NCPS

Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach who aims to create a warm, supportive space for people to talk about what matters to them. She holds NCPS as a credential and works from a person-focused stance that centres the client's concerns and goals.

Jeni draws on a range of practical methods rather than one fixed model. She uses attachment-informed thinking to look at patterns in relationships, cognitive and mindfulness tools to manage thoughts and stress, and psychodynamic ideas to uncover deeper themes that affect how people cope. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and pace.

People come to her with a wide mix of worries, including stress, anxiety, grief and parenting strain. She also supports those facing relationship difficulties, issues with self-esteem, addiction concerns, sleep problems, anger or major life changes. There is a particular focus on women's issues within her broader practice areas.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at practical next steps as well as understanding feelings. She also offers coaching-style support when clients want help setting and reaching personal goals.

Jeni has three years of professional experience working with individuals across a range of life challenges. She offers sessions in English and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally via online formats. If someone prefers a flexible way to meet, she provides several remote options to suit different needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and interactions. Online sessions can help people notice repeated patterns in partnerships or family ties and practise new ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client's lead. In remote sessions this approach creates space for people to set the pace, bring what matters most, and work towards clearer goals with steady support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises. Online formats suit short skill-building tasks, thought records and homework that can be discussed between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match a client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where choices can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or clients who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
