Jennifer Blaney-Sutton, BACP

Jennifer Blaney-Sutton is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who uses an integrative approach centred on the person. She works with adults facing anxiety, low confidence, stress, burnout, depression and major life changes. Jennifer aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them.

Her style is collaborative and trauma-aware, and she affirms neurodiversity. She supports people whether or not they have a diagnosis, and encourages starting therapy even when things feel unclear. Her own experience of dyslexia informs her sensitivity to difference and practical needs.

Jennifer draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and focus on valued action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to address anxious or negative thinking, while Attachment-Based ideas help explore how early relationships affect present feelings and responses.

She also works with emotionally-focused methods to improve emotional awareness and connection, and uses client-centred principles to foster trust and self-trust. Sessions may include mindfulness and somatic-informed techniques to support emotional regulation and nervous system awareness.

Her aim is to listen carefully, ask helpful questions, and support people to build practical ways of coping. Therapy with Jennifer is aimed at helping people feel more resourced, make clearer choices, and reconnect with their strengths.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often involve values clarification, simple behavioural experiments and practical exercises that can be done between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and gently changing patterns of thinking and behaviour linked to anxiety and depression. In remote sessions CBT uses collaborative worksheets, guided exercises and short tasks to practise new skills at home. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current reactions and relationships; online sessions can include reflective conversation and exercises to increase awareness of relational triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss different methods with each person and agree a plan together. That way therapy matches an individual's goals, preferences and what feels most helpful in practice.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer no camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling or when written reflection helps. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional support.
