Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell, NCPS

Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach who creates a warm, supportive space for people to talk about what matters to them. She introduces herself simply and listens closely to each person's story. Her work is suitable for those facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and the upheaval of midlife change.

Jeni uses a client-centred, pluralistic way of working. That means she adapts sessions to fit each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone. She draws on a mix of approaches to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes in daily life.

In sessions she focuses on clear, everyday steps as well as deeper personal reflection. Conversations might include noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising calmness and breathing, or looking at past patterns that affect current relationships. She also offers coaching-style support for motivation and goal-setting.

Her background includes three years of experience in counselling and coaching work. Her listed credential is NCPS. Jeni works with a broad range of issues including parenting pressures, caregiving stress, addiction-related concerns, sleep problems, low self-esteem and the emotional aftermath of loss.

People are encouraged to set the pace and shape their own goals. Jeni emphasises collaboration and practical tools alongside gentle exploration, aiming to help people feel steadier and more able to move forward.

Approaches that shape online support

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns, helping people make different choices in close relationships and around intimacy. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering empathetic listening and an open space to talk without judgement; it can help with self-esteem, grief and life changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence, often giving clear steps to change how they feel and behave. These approaches can be used together to address stress, anxiety, sleep problems and the pressures that come with midlife transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps tailor techniques and pacing to each person rather than imposing a single method.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups that keep momentum between appointments. It also makes it possible for people outside the therapist's local area to connect with the practitioner and continue work across borders.
