About Jennifer

Jennifer "Jeni" O'Donnell is an NCPS psychotherapeutic counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She offers one-to-one help for people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship troubles and anger among other concerns. Sessions also cover parenting strain, self-esteem problems, addictions and sleep difficulties.

Jeni adopts a client-centred, pluralistic style. She starts by listening to what matters most and then uses approaches that fit each person. That can mean talking through current problems, noticing patterns from the past, or practising small skills to manage strong feelings.

She uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness to help with thought patterns and emotional regulation. Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas are used to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical ways forward.

People bring a mix of life issues to sessions - from bereavement and separation to work stress and compassion fatigue. Jeni also supports those dealing with control issues, codependency, body image concerns and the strain of caregiving. She aims to help clients find clearer ways to respond rather than react.

The working pace is flexible and depends on the client's needs. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session to discuss goals and next steps. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current responses. It helps when patterns from the past keep showing up in present relationships and emotional reactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce distress and change reactions. Mindfulness practice trains attention and calm, helping with anger, anxiety and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the work collaborative and goal-focused.

The biography does not state specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also allows people to use techniques and exercises between meetings so progress can continue in daily life.
