About me
Hello, I’m Jess, a therapist specialising in supporting women in Cheadle, Stockport and Didsbury, South Manchester, as well as online across the UK.
I support my clients by offering a safe and confidential space where you can talk openly, feel truly heard, and start making changes that last. Whether you’re struggling with low mood, anxiety, low self-esteem or confidence, relationship difficulties, the effects of trauma, stress or the challenges of motherhood, or something else, I’m here to support you.
As an integrative counsellor, my approach is primarily person-centred, meaning our sessions are led by you and what you need. I can also bring in CBT techniques to help you develop practical tools for change that you can use outside of therapy. I’ve completed specialist training in working with neurodiverse clients, parents, sexual violence and abuse survivors and those who’ve experienced trauma. If you would like to see a full list of my professional training, I am happy to provide this.
Having my own lived experience of trauma, I understand how hard it can be to reach out for help but also how powerful it can be to find the right support. I have a particular passion for working with women and new parents, especially mums navigating the emotional ups and downs of early parenthood. I also have a passion for working with clients who have had ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences). I also work for New Pathways a charitable organisation supporting sexual violence survivors.
I aim to provide a relaxed, non-judgemental space that’s shaped around your needs and goals. Sessions are available face-to-face, by phone, or online, with daytime and some evening appointments available. I also offer walk-and-talk therapy.
I also offer a small number of reduced-fee spaces for clients on low or no income, students, and counselling trainees because therapy should be accessible to everyone.
If you’re ready to start putting yourself first and find your way back to feeling more grounded, confident, and connected I’d love to hear from you.
Here are some recent reviews from my clients: “ I started with Jess early this year looking for an open space that could help me navigate my overwhelm and anxieties within life. Jess provides a down to earth, relatable and personable experience within therapy. I feel safe and heard within every session and our conversations have been positively impactful on my life, they have given me space to explore my anxieties and help navigate my thoughts and feelings. I have already recommended Jess’s service to a close friend and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for meaningful therapy.“
“ Working with Jess has been such a positive experience. After struggling to connect with therapists through the NHS, I was relieved to find someone who felt genuinely approachable and easy to talk to. Jess creates a warm, non-judgemental space where I feel completely safe to open up. Our weekly sessions have not only helped me explore and understand my emotions, but she’s also supported me in developing practical tools to manage life’s challenges. Although there’s still more work to do, I genuinely feel like I’m on the right path and that I’ll achieve my goals with Jess by my side. I’m already in a better headspace and truly look forward to our sessions each week.”
