Jennifer "Jeni" O’Donnell

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 works in a client-centred way and adapts sessions to each person. Jeni aims to help people feel heard and to find practical steps forward.

She has three years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with anger, grief, relationship concerns, family tension and parenting strain. Other areas she supports include addictions, self-esteem, sleep problems, trauma and intimacy-related issues.

Jeni uses a pluralistic approach and draws on different methods to suit each person. This can include talking about early relationship patterns, noticing helpful and unhelpful thoughts, and using mindfulness to calm the body. The work is paced to the individual and focuses on clear, usable steps as well as understanding feelings.

She also offers coaching alongside counselling for people who want practical goals and action plans. That may be helpful for coping with life changes, managing compassion fatigue, or rebuilding motivation after loss.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Jeni asks people to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Jennifer commonly draws on Attachment-Based work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide online sessions. Attachment-Based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current feelings and reactions; it can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment feelings and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety, anger or low mood and testing new, more helpful ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions may include exploring past relationships, practising new thinking habits, or setting simple action steps to try between meetings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, make it simpler to attend from work breaks, or allow a quieter check-in without needing a long commute. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online appointments to maintain continuity of care when schedules are busy or when people are in different locations.
