About Jillian

Jillian Whitham offers a warm, client-centred way of working that focuses on what matters to each person. She uses an open, non-judgemental style to help people talk through stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Jillian’s approach encourages honest conversation and practical steps towards feeling more in control.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful space where the person sets the pace. Existential Therapy is also part of her practice, helping people face difficult choices and find meaning during life changes. Together these approaches are used to explore feelings about self-worth, career strain, sleep problems and grief.

Jillian has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is noted as her supplied credential. Her background includes helping people manage coping with life changes, ADHD concerns, family problems and chronic illness or pain. She also addresses issues such as body image, guilt, shame and loneliness.

In sessions she aims to listen without judgement and to support people as they consider options and next steps. Conversations often cover practical coping strategies as well as reflecting on deeper patterns like attachment or abandonment worries. The goal is to help people develop clearer ways of handling daily stressors and longer-term decisions.

How client-centred and existential work adapt to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs acceptance, support for low mood or clearer self-esteem. Existential Therapy encourages looking at life choices, responsibility and meaning, which can be useful during big changes or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and choose methods together. This collaborative process means the approach can shift as needs and priorities change over time.

Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not specify which online options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing for appointments during breaks or outside commuting hours. It can also make shorter check-ins possible when needed, or avoid being on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these practical benefits to match therapy to day-to-day routines and demands.
