About Jennifer

Jennifer Gama is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, grief and depression. She works in English and Chichewa and brings 16 years of experience to conversations that can feel hard to start. Her approach aims to make the first steps easier and more manageable for someone under pressure.

Jennifer believes clients know their own stories and already hold strengths to draw on. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small, practical changes that make a difference day to day.

Background and approach

She uses clear, direct language so people can leave sessions with useful ideas to try. Her background includes work with first responders, veteran and armed forces issues, and end-of-life care in hospice settings. She also has experience supporting people facing HIV and AIDS concerns, multicultural pressures, prejudice and discrimination, and a range of obsessive or compulsive struggles.

Jennifer uses a mix of approaches to tailor support. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based work and client-centred methods. The focus is on understanding patterns and building skills, such as managing difficult feelings or repairing important relationships.

People can expect practical discussions about current problems, space to reflect on values and relationships, and straightforward tools to try between sessions. Jennifer aims to work alongside each person to find the best next step for their situation.

How Jennifer’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions towards those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for persistent anxiety, stress and problems that come back again and again.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It often includes simple exercises and experiments that people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present connections. It can help when relationship strain or family conflict feels repetitive and hard to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree together which methods to try. That collaborative choice is revisited as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions suit longer conversations and face-to-face interaction, phone calls need less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates or reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping momentum between sessions.
