Person-centred counsellor using mindfulness

About Jennifer

Jennifer Phillips works from a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. She uses straightforward conversation and mindfulness tools to help people feel steadier day to day. Jennifer focuses on realistic steps rather than clinical labels, so sessions aim to be practical and easy to follow.

She has eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background has included supporting people through stress, anxiety and difficult life changes. She also helps with relationship tensions, family problems and issues that follow trauma and abusive experiences.

Jennifer supports people facing a wide range of concerns, from panic and obsessive thoughts to grief, postpartum depression and struggles with self-esteem. She also works with those dealing with control issues, codependency and challenges around intimacy. Fertility and infertility worries are another area she is familiar with.

In sessions she listens without judgement and helps you name what is most worrying right now. Mindfulness practices are used to calm the body and attention, while client-centred work gives space to reflect and make choices. The tone is practical and compassionate, with an emphasis on small, manageable changes.

Clients are invited to move at their own pace and to try simple skills between meetings. The goal is clearer thinking, reduced day-to-day distress and more confidence in handling difficult moments.

Person-centred and mindfulness approaches for online work

Jennifer uses client-centred work to make sessions feel respectful and non-judgemental. This approach focuses on listening closely and following the concerns you bring, which can help when stress, relationships or life changes feel overwhelming.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce the intensity of panic, lowers rumination, and offers tools to steady emotions in everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work with you to choose methods that match your needs and goals. That choice is collaborative: you and the counsellor will check what helps and adjust the plan as you go.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, who need quieter settings, or who want to receive care from a different location than their local area.
