About Jennifer
Jennifer Mcpherson (Norman) helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related difficulties. She also supports those dealing with low mood, anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges around self-esteem and life transitions. Jennifer brings 25 years of professional experience to her work and holds BACP accreditation.
She speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Jennifer sees each person as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
She works in a calm, respectful way and focuses on building a trusting conversation. Sessions aim to notice what matters most to the client and to find small, practical steps that fit everyday life. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to understand feelings and relationship patterns, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them.
She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working to create a warm, attentive space, together with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques when helpful. In a session she listens, reflects, and offers ideas clients can try between meetings. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns, practise new responses, and build stronger emotional connections with themselves and others.
The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Jennifer offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and relational patterns so people can change how they respond in close relationships. It is often used for deepening emotional connections and resolving recurring conflicts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take action in line with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection styles and how they influence current relationships, supporting people to form more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. This collaborative process means methods can be blended or adjusted as the relationship develops.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video lets conversations feel more like face-to-face contact, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, live chat suits concise exchanges, and messaging supports ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work itself.
