About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach who offers a calm, warm space to talk through what matters most. She uses a gentle, people-first approach and adapts methods to suit individual needs. Jeni aims to help clients find practical ways to cope and move forward.
She has three years of practice working with stress and anxiety, grief and bereavement, relationship problems, family tensions and low self-esteem. Jeni also addresses issues such as addiction, sleep difficulties, anger and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Her work includes support around parenting, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns. Jeni draws on a mix of approaches so sessions can feel flexible rather than formulaic. She often uses client-centred listening, attachment-based thinking and cognitive behavioural ideas to untangle unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives also inform how she helps people understand feelings and memories. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the individual. People can expect time to talk, space to reflect, and simple tools to try between meetings.
The focus is on clear steps that can ease daily stresses and improve coping. Jeni works remotely from the United Kingdom and supports international clients in English. She combines coaching and counselling elements for those wanting both emotional support and goal-focused work.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and on how early bonds affect current feelings. This approach can help when people struggle with trust, attachment issues or repeated relationship problems.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, which suits those wanting a paced, empathetic space to reflect.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeni will discuss options and try different ways of working based on someone’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps to tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant.
Online sessions can be arranged by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging suits short check-ins or those who prefer typed communication. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and travel.
