Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Jennifer directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and Attachment approaches work online
Jennifer often uses Narrative Therapy, which focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. Online sessions let you speak through recent events and notice different meanings, helping you rewrite parts of your story that feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work and looks at how early relationships shape current patterns; it helps when connection or trust issues keep repeating.She pairs these with Client-Centred ways of working that put your priorities first and create space for you to lead the conversation. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a joint process - the therapist will ask about your goals, try things out and adjust methods to fit what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text work well for shorter check-ins, reflective notes or people who find writing easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
