About Jillian
Jillian Whitham is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people facing stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She focuses on building a respectful space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgement. Jillian brings a warm, compassionate manner to each session and aims to support people as they take steps toward change.
She has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Jillian listens closely to what matters to an individual and responds to their pace and priorities. Sessions often start by identifying immediate worries and practical ways to manage them.
Jillian also draws on existential ideas to help people question meaning, make values-based choices, and cope with life transitions. This can be useful when someone feels stuck, empty, or unsure about direction in work or relationships. The focus is on helping a person reflect and make decisions that fit their life.
Her areas of work include low mood and depression, self-esteem, grief, sleep problems, ADHD-related struggles, and career concerns. She also supports people with attachment or abandonment worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and issues around body image and eating.
Jillian aims to work collaboratively, listening first and offering practical strategies where helpful. If someone prefers a gentle, person-focused approach that also looks at life meaning, she can be a steady guide through change.
How client-centred and existential work transfer online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood. It emphasises the person’s experience and aims to create a respectful space where they can talk through worries like anxiety, low mood, or relationship stress. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and values, helping people who feel stuck, empty or uncertain to consider their direction and priorities.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try different ways of working together. The aim is to arrive at a style that fits the person’s needs rather than to impose a single method.
