About Jillian
Counsellor (BACP), 4 years' experience. Jillian Whitham focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem and depression, and helps people cope with life changes and career concerns. She uses Client-Centred and Existential approaches to guide sessions.
Jillian keeps sessions straightforward. She listens to what is worrying someone and works with them to find clearer ways to manage day-to-day stress and sleep problems. Conversations concentrate on what a person wants to change and on practical steps they can try between sessions.
Her Client-Centred work means the person sets the pace. Jillian reflects what people say and helps them make sense of their feelings. Existential work looks at meaning, choice and responsibility, and can help when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by big life questions.
She also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness or chronic pain, and issues around body image, eating and impulse control. Relationship topics she addresses include communication problems, infidelity and separation.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the BACP framework as supplied. Jillian asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before the first meeting so she can understand current concerns and preferences.
Practical matters such as session cost vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People should confirm current session options before booking by following the online therapy options route.

How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says, so the client leads the topics and pace. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns or low self-esteem. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility and can help people facing life transitions, grief or feelings of emptiness.Finding the right way of working is part of the early conversations. The counsellor will review a person’s goals and preferences and suggest which approach or mix of approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions around work or caregiving commitments and reducing travel time. If you prefer a shorter check-in or to avoid being on camera some sessions can be adjusted to suit that pace. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors often use online sessions to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life.
