Jennifer Cromar, BACP

Jennifer Cromar is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with BACP accreditation and 18 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and major life changes. Jennifer often works well with creative clients who want to bring writing or art into sessions. She aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people taking the first steps towards change.

Her practice focuses on practical conversation and working out what will help day to day. She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the plan to those needs. Sessions may include talking, guided exercises, or creative activities when that suits the client.

Jennifer draws on a mix of human-focused and evidence-based ideas. She uses Client-Centred methods to follow the person’s lead and build understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot patterns that make problems worse and to try different responses.

She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused and Jungian ideas for people who want to look at underlying feelings and personal meaning. This can help when coping with abandonment, attachment issues, or transitions later in life. Jennifer will work at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

If someone is unsure how therapy might help, she encourages a simple first step: a short questionnaire then a scheduling conversation. The process is collaborative and focused on realistic next steps, not on jargon or labels.

How therapeutic approaches come alive online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps the person make sense of their choices and values. This can help with stress, life transitions, and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions influence each other. It teaches practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety and low mood.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work through strong emotions. It supports people who want to understand attachment patterns and manage intense reactions in relationships or during big life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods to suit each person's needs and preferences. This happens collaboratively, with the client deciding what feels most helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It can also let creative exercises like writing or drawing be shared and discussed in session without needing extra travel.
