About Jennifer

Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach who creates a warm, supportive space for people to talk about what matters most. She has three years of practice and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief and relationship tensions. Jeni uses a flexible, client-centred way of working to meet people where they are.

Her background includes helping people navigate bereavement, family conflict and major life changes. She also supports those coping with parenting strains, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and issues that affect self-worth. Jeni draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit different needs rather than following a single method.

In sessions she listens for what feels important to each person and adjusts her style accordingly. That may mean using practical exercises from cognitive behavioural approaches, attending to attachment patterns, or exploring deeper life themes over time. The pace and focus are set together with the client.

People contact her about a broad set of difficulties such as addictions, sleeping problems, anger, intimacy concerns and coping with illness, including cancer-related worries. She also helps with parenting struggles, blended family issues and communication problems.

Jeni holds the NCPS credential and works from the United Kingdom. She offers help in English and can work with people internationally. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How her approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at connection and trust in relationships and can help when people struggle with attachment issues, abandonment worries or repeating relationship problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thoughts and routines. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing stress by teaching clearer ways to cope.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and they will choose or blend methods that feel useful for the person. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

For practicalities, the profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter catch-ups during a busy day, or making it possible to meet without being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflective conversation and practical CBT tasks to remote sessions, keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
