Jennifer Cromar, BACP

Jennifer Cromar is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression and major life changes. She welcomes clients who want a compassionate, respectful space to talk and to try new ways of coping.

Her approach is tailored to each person. Sessions often draw on client-centred methods to make talk feel collaborative and down-to-earth. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes. Emotionally focused ideas come in when relationships and feelings are central to the concern.

Jennifer also works with themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care, and codependency. She supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, ageing questions, and body image concerns. She can also address personality-related patterns like avoidant or antisocial traits, and issues around commitment.

Creative approaches can be part of her work. Clients who like writing or art are encouraged to use those methods in sessions if that helps them express things that are hard to say. Jennifer adapts the dialogue and the plan to each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method.

Her practice recognises that starting therapy takes courage. She aims to support and empower people as they work towards clearer goals and a more manageable day-to-day life.

How this therapist uses different approaches online

Client-centred therapy is about following what the person brings and making the session feel like a mutual conversation. It helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to make sense of feelings and to set their own goals.

Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress when clear, step-by-step changes are needed.

Emotionally focused ideas aim to help people name and respond to key feelings, especially in times of loss, trauma or relationship stress. That can bring clearer patterns into view and guide practical next steps.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions often evolve as issues change, so the chosen approach may shift over time.

Please confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options are not stated here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins or shorter sessions when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and creative tools for online sessions so people continue making practical progress.
