Jennifer Mcpherson (Norman) , BACP

Jennifer Mcpherson (Norman) helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those coping with anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem and anger. Jennifer works with people navigating parenting pressures, ADHD, life transitions and issues linked to attachment and body image. She has 25 years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.

Jennifer’s counselling style is practical and respectful. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and focused on small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.

Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. These approaches are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, learn coping skills and improve emotional connection. Jennifer also uses client-centred listening to understand each person’s priorities.

Many people work on improving communication, rebuilding trust, managing strong emotions, or creating routines that support better sleep and eating. Jennifer offers coaching-style guidance alongside therapeutic work when people want practical steps and goals.

Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. International clients who speak English may take part. Fees vary with location and sessions are offered through a cancellable subscription.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values-based goals so clients can take meaningful actions despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood and tackle unhelpful routines. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and aims to improve emotional connection and trust.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try different ways of working and agree on goals together. That shared planning helps tailor sessions to each person’s needs and preferences rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls make it possible to read facial cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed communication or need more flexible timing. These options offer practical flexibility so sessions can fit work, caregiving and daily life routines.
