About Jennifer

Registered Clinical Counsellor (PACFA), 7 years’ experience. Jennifer Ranieri works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, bipolar mood issues and LGBT-related difficulties. She focuses on understanding what has happened to a person and on practical ways to manage current symptoms.

Jennifer prefers a trauma-informed approach in her work. She emphasises safety, trust, collaboration and choice when meeting someone. She asks about past events and their ongoing effects to make sense of how someone arrived at a particular challenge.

Dialectical behaviour therapy is a preferred method for Jennifer. She invites questions from people who want to learn more about it and how it might be used for emotional regulation and interpersonal difficulties. She also integrates other evidence-based techniques appropriate to each person’s needs.

Sessions move at a practical pace. Jennifer helps people identify immediate coping strategies and then work on longer term skill-building. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings and behaviour, with clear steps to practice between meetings.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She works together with each person to set goals and to check progress. People who want to understand patterns from their past and build steady skills for handling distress may find this approach useful.

Therapeutic methods and how they work remotely

Jennifer commonly uses a trauma-informed approach that prioritises understanding what happened to a person and how those experiences affect current behaviour and emotions. This approach helps people make sense of distress and agree steps that feel manageable.

She also uses dialectical behaviour therapy, which teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness. DBT can be useful when strong emotions, relationship conflict or self-harm behaviours are present because it gives concrete tools to practise between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jennifer works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs and preferences and reviews progress as therapy continues. People are involved in decisions about which techniques to try and when to adjust the plan.

The biography does not list which remote session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. When online sessions are available, they can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also permit a focus on skill practice and homework between meetings, which supports steady progress.
