Jennifer Cromar
Gentle practical support for life changes
About Jennifer
Jennifer Cromar is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with BACP registration and 18 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and major life transitions. She is comfortable working with clients who like to bring creativity into sessions, for example writing or art.
Jennifer aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Her work starts by listening closely to each person's story.
Background and approach
She adapts conversations and plans to suit individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions are aimed at finding practical ways to cope with day-to-day pressures and longer-term difficulties. Jennifer draws on several well-known therapeutic styles to guide her work.
She uses client-centred techniques to build trust and help people feel heard. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test small changes. Emotionally-focused methods help people name and process strong feelings.
She also brings in existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning, identity and unspoken themes that affect wellbeing. People who value creative expression may use writing or art as part of the sessions. The overall tone is collaborative: Jennifer supports people to find practical steps and new perspectives.
If someone is ready to begin, Jennifer encourages taking a manageable first step and arranging a match through the site. She works with each person to agree goals and direction as therapy progresses.

How Jennifer's approaches work online
Jennifer uses client-centred therapy to place the person's experience at the centre of the work, focusing on empathic listening and building a trusting connection. This helps when someone needs to be heard and supported through difficult emotions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to spot thinking patterns that make problems worse and to try practical experiments that can change mood and behaviour. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people identify and process strong feelings and improve how they respond to them.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and clients and therapist decide together which methods fit best. Jennifer will work collaboratively to clarify goals and adapt techniques as sessions progress. If creative tools like writing or art are useful, they can be integrated into the agreed plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when interaction matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or keeping therapy going between longer sessions. Together these options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
