Jennifer Cromar, BACP

Jennifer Cromar is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and 18 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression and major life changes. Jennifer often works with creative clients who want to bring writing or art into sessions. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and warmth.

Her style is client-centred and practical. Conversations are shaped around what matters to the individual. She listens for personal strengths and builds on those resources during sessions. People can expect direct, clear discussion and gentle challenge when needed.

Jennifer also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small, manageable experiments. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationships or attachment patterns are central to the issue. Jungian and existential perspectives may appear for those wanting to examine meaning, symbols and life purpose.

She tailors the dialogue and plan to each person’s circumstances. Creative exercises such as journalling or art tasks may be suggested between sessions. The aim is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Jennifer describes starting therapy as a brave step and says she will offer support and practical tools along the way. People who prefer a respectful, collaborative approach tend to find her way of working helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jennifer uses client-centred methods that focus on what the person brings to the room, listening carefully and shaping conversation around individual goals and values. This helps when someone needs a supportive space to reflect and make practical changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of behaving. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression and stress because it breaks problems into clear, manageable steps.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas appear when emotional bonds and attachment patterns are important. EFT can help people understand relationship dynamics and process strong feelings in a focused way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as needed in collaboration with the client.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel, and offer shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also allows use of written tasks, journalling and creative assignments between meetings to support progress.
