About Jennifer

Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS as a credential and aims to provide a warm, supportive space for people to talk about what matters to them. Her style is grounded and approachable, with attention to each person's pace and priorities.

Jeni has three years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement. She also supports those facing relationship and family tensions, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.

Her approach is client-centred and pluralistic. That means she tailors sessions to each person and draws on different techniques as needed. She uses methods from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused ideas to shape each plan.

People often come to her for help with life changes, coping strategies and deeper patterns such as attachment or codependency. Jeni also works with concerns like addictions, trauma and intimacy-related worries, and she offers coaching-focused support when clients want practical steps alongside therapy.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and build more secure ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the process, offering a compassionate listening space and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours together and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jeni will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then shape sessions with the methods that fit best. This is a collaborative process aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support people who live outside the therapist's immediate area, since international clients are accepted.
