Jennifer Clarke, BACP

Jennifer Clarke is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings three years of professional experience to her practice. Originally from Southern Ireland and now working on the south coast of the UK, she trained in person-centred counselling at the University of Brighton, a foundation that informs her collaborative and respectful way of working. The BACP credential means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors in the UK.

Jennifer offers support for stress, anxiety, depression and a range of relationship concerns including family, romantic and friendship issues. Her approach is person-centred and collaborative - she creates an open, non-judgemental space where people can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She aims to help clients build coping strategies, improve communication and work through life transitions with practical and compassionate guidance.

Her typical working hours are Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 2:30pm. Sessions run for 45 minutes; if a client arrives more than 15 minutes late the meeting will be classed as a missed session and will need to be rescheduled. Sessions are not extended to make up for late arrival, and missed sessions may be subject to a charge in line with platform policy. If technical difficulties or unexpected issues arise, clients are asked to message Jennifer as soon as possible.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer works primarily from a client-centred foundation, which places the person's own perspective and goals at the centre of the therapeutic process. In this approach the therapist listens deeply, reflects back what is heard and helps clients develop greater self-understanding and self-directed change - it is well suited to people seeking emotional support, self-esteem work and help navigating life transitions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. This approach helps people understand attachment styles, improve intimacy, and address issues such as codependency, communication problems and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself; Jennifer collaborates with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions over time so the therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different levels of comfort with face-to-face contact, and maintain continuity when life circumstances change. Registered professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, effective support across a range of concerns.
