About Jillian
Jillian Whitham is a counsellor who draws on existential and client-centred ways of working. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. Jillian aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone thinking about counselling.
Jillian has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. The approach is personal and paced to each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and supports practical steps forward. Conversations can cover relationships, career worries, sleep problems, grief, and life changes. She also helps people coping with ADHD, chronic illness or caring responsibilities to find ways to manage daily pressures.
Jillian pays attention to how identity and meaning affect wellbeing. That can help when someone feels empty, isolated, or anxious about long-term choices. She uses simple, direct conversation to help people notice options and make choices that match their values.
Her style is warm and respectful, aiming to build trust quickly so people can speak openly. New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process to begin sessions. The goal is steady progress, one step at a time.

Online support
Existential and Person-Centred Support Online
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in a person’s life. It helps when someone feels empty, stuck, or unsure about long-term decisions by focusing on what matters to them and the values they want to act on.Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping people feel heard and clarifying what they want to change.
Deciding on the right approach is part of the work together. Jillian will help clients try out ideas and agree what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for a fuller conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while keeping continuity between appointments.
