About Jennifer

Jennifer Blaney-Sutton is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, low confidence, stress, burnout, depression, relationship difficulties and major life changes. She also supports people struggling with grief, anger, ADHD and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Jennifer describes her work as collaborative and inclusive. Sessions use a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming stance, so people do not need a diagnosis to begin. She brings lived experience of dyslexia and uses that perspective to notice practical barriers and communication differences in daily life.

Her approach draws on several established therapies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and make values-based choices. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy guide work on relationships and patterns formed early in life.

In practice she listens, asks questions and helps clients try things between sessions. That might include noticing unhelpful thinking, trying a small behavioural change, or practising grounding and mindfulness exercises. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and give tools for managing intense feelings such as shame, guilt or overwhelm.

Jennifer also works with concerns linked to adoption, abandonment, body image, codependency and caregiving stress. She offers a calm, steady approach and focuses on practical ways to respond differently to old patterns. To begin, people use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches used and online work

Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT helps people recognise unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven actions rather than fighting every difficult feeling. CBT looks at thought patterns and behaviour, offering concrete steps to test and change unhelpful thinking.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns formed early in life and how they affect current connections. That kind of work can help when shame or guilt stems from past relational experiences or repeated interaction patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process where approaches can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit quieter conversations without needing to be on camera, or exercises and mindfulness practices that work well in a familiar setting.
