About Jennifer
Jennifer Blaney-Sutton is a BACP counsellor who uses somatic-informed work alongside talking therapies to help people feel steadier in their bodies and minds. She works with adults facing anxiety, low confidence, stress, burnout, depression and relationship difficulties. Jennifer writes simply and directly, offering a calm, respectful space where people can begin to sort things out at their own pace.
Her approach is warm and collaborative. She listens, asks gentle questions, and helps people slow down to notice what is happening inside their bodies as well as their thoughts.
Background and approach
This often makes overwhelming feelings easier to manage and clearer to talk about. Jennifer draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches, and cognitive behavioural ideas when they suit a person’s goals. She is also trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, and welcomes people whether or not they have a diagnosis.
Sessions focus on practical steps, noticing patterns, and building skills that fit everyday life. With three years' experience, Jennifer combines professional training with lived experience of dyslexia, which gives her practical insight into how difference can feel in daily life. She aims to help people feel more resourced and able to respond differently to old problems.
People can expect a steady, non-judgemental space to explore identity, grief, career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns and more. The work is paced to suit each person, with attention to both emotional experience and bodily signals.
How somatic and talking approaches work online
Jennifer blends somatic-informed work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-focused ideas in online sessions. Somatic-informed work helps people notice bodily signals and gentle movement or breathing to reduce overwhelm and support nervous system regulation. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people make small steps towards what matters even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-Based ideas look at patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current responses, which can help with trust and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be done together. The counsellor will listen to your priorities, try approaches that fit your goals, and adjust methods based on what feels helpful. This collaborative way means techniques can be gentle, practical and paced to your comfort.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and body awareness work, while phone or messaging can be easier on busy days or when reading and writing suit you better. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life and keep continuity across different locations.
