How her approaches are used for online sessions
Jennifer often uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities, encouraging open conversation and reflective listening to identify what matters most and what strengths are already present.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice physical and mental signs of anxiety or stress and practice simple attention and breathing exercises that can reduce reactivity. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps and clearer goals so clients can try changes between sessions and track progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss different methods with each person and choose what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted over time if something isn’t working.
