About Jennifer
Jennifer Mcpherson (Norman) is a counsellor with 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related worries. She also helps with depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting concerns, anger and low self-esteem. Codependency is listed among her areas of focus.
Jennifer works in a straightforward, person-focused way. She starts by listening to each person's story and noticing their strengths. Sessions aim to make small, practical changes that feel doable. The focus is on what matters now and what steps help a person feel steadier day to day.
Her approach draws on several well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods are used to help people manage difficult feelings, rebuild trust in relationships, and change unhelpful patterns.
Jennifer describes the client as the expert in their life. She sees her role as offering support and honest feedback while people try new ways of coping. That can include learning new skills, testing different choices, and practising kinder self-talk.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps that match what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people repair trust and build healthier connections through talking and new ways of relating. Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and explain options. Together you will try methods that feel useful and adjust as you learn what helps most. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people living outside the local area to work with a UK-based counsellor. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT and attachment-focused work to an online setting, using conversation, practical exercises and between-session tasks to keep progress moving.Areas of expertise
