Jennifer Clarke , BACP

Jennifer Clarke is a counsellor based on the south coast of the United Kingdom who offers a warm, collaborative approach to therapy. She trained in Person-Centred Counselling at the University of Brighton and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Originally from Southern Ireland, she brings an empathetic, non-judgemental stance to her practice and works with people from diverse backgrounds.

She has experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and a range of relational difficulties, including family, romantic, and friendship challenges. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, anger, compassion fatigue, and issues related to self-esteem and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment and blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, fertility and pregnancy concerns, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions.

Jennifer follows a person-centred, collaborative style that prioritises an open atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She aims to build a respectful therapeutic relationship that supports personal insight and practical coping strategies. Her working hours are Monday to Friday, 9:30am–2:30pm. Sessions are 45 minutes long; if a client arrives more than 15 minutes late the session will be classed as missed and must be rescheduled. Sessions are not extended to make up for late arrival, and missed sessions may be subject to a charge. If technical difficulties or unexpected issues arise, clients are encouraged to message her as soon as possible.

Attachment and Person-Centred Approaches Delivered Online

Jennifer Clarke uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to guide online work in a way that is easy to understand and practical to apply. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns of connection and trust, helping people who struggle with closeness, codependency, or relationship instability to develop more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual's experience, offering a supportive, non-directive environment where personal insight and self-directed growth are encouraged; it can be especially helpful for stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer works collaboratively to identify what fits a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so that the therapeutic style evolves with the client's progress and comfort level, involving the client in decisions about focus and technique.

Online therapy with Jennifer is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from a distance. These options offer flexibility for people managing work, family, or geographical constraints, while keeping the emphasis on consistent, practical support from a licensed professional.
