About me
Hi I'm Jess, I'm an integrative counsellor working face to face in Heswall, Wirral and remote via online and telephone. I'm registered with and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
How do I work?
As an integrative counsellor I take a flexible and collaborative approach, acknowledging that each client is unique. My core approach is Person-Centred and where relevant I may incorporate elements of different counselling theories into our work to support you in understanding and coping with what you are facing.
The approaches I may incorporate alongside Person Centred Counselling depend on your individual needs. Some of the approaches may include Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic therapy.
When we begin working together we will agree upon what your focus is for your sessions and have regular reviews to discuss what may have changed and what may be remaining, reviews help ensure that we maintain a focus on what feels authentic to you.
I work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and align with the following:
I support and affirm neurodivergent ways of experiencing and engaging with the world.
I embrace a positive view of LGBTQIA+ identities and relationships. It's important that you can bring your whole self to your sessions, whether or not your focus is related to being LGBTQIA+.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

A discovery call is a chance for us to meet via telephone, it offers an opportunity for you to ask questions that you may have, for us to briefly discuss what you’re hoping to gain and focus on in your sessions and to see if we are a good fit to work together before you commit to paid sessions.
