About Jennifer

Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach with three years of practice. She offers a calm, warm space for people to talk about what matters most to them. Jeni holds the NCPS credential, which appears with her name as part of her professional details.

She commonly helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and problems with motivation. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including addictions, sleeping difficulties, anger and coping with life changes.

Jeni uses a client-centred, pluralistic approach. She adapts her style to each person and situation rather than following a single fixed method. That means sessions can include talking, practical problem solving and techniques drawn from different approaches depending on what would help most.

Her practice draws on ideas from attachment work, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness, alongside other therapeutic influences. She aims to help people understand patterns of thought and everyday habits that keep problems going, then try manageable changes that fit into daily life.

People often come for help with specific stresses such as family conflict, bereavement, communication problems, care-giver strain, body image or surviving difficult relationships. Jeni works at a pace set by the person in the room and focuses on practical steps and clearer thinking to support change.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people see how connection and trust issues affect current relationships and emotional responses. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering a listening, non-judgemental space so people can find their own solutions and start to feel more confident. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and everyday habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the individual about goals and preferences, and together they will choose techniques that fit. This collaborative process means methods can change as needs evolve and progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel time and allowing appointments at easier times. Others use shorter check-ins or phone conversations when that suits their day. Overall, online work can make it simpler to try practical exercises, track habits and bring therapy into everyday routines without promising any particular format.
