About Jennifer
Jennifer Mcpherson (Norman) offers compassionate counselling for people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, depression, anxiety and stress. She also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Jennifer brings 25 years of experience and works from the view that each person knows their own story best.
Her aim is to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them.
Background and approach
She listens for strengths and practical steps that can help day to day. Sessions focus on small changes that add up over time rather than sudden fixes. Jennifer combines existential thinking with practical therapies such as acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioural techniques.
She pays attention to how relationships and attachment shape feelings and behaviour. This mix helps people make sense of painful patterns and try different ways of relating. Her style is collaborative and down to earth.
People are invited to set goals, try out different strategies between sessions, and reflect on what helps. The approach suits those who want both understanding and practical tools. Jennifer is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. It supports work on major life questions, coping with loss, and making changes that fit personal values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter. It is useful for anxiety, depression and situations where avoidance gets in the way of living fully.Choosing a way of working is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try out suitable techniques, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. This collaborative stance means the approach can shift over time to match changing needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video is helpful when visual cues matter and for a full conversation. Phone sessions can fit a short break from work or be easier with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick check-ins, regular prompts between sessions or people who prefer writing. These formats let people access therapy from different places and at different times while keeping focus on practical change and emotional clarity.
