About me
Hi, I’m Jess - the therapist behind Jess Rose Therapy.
My practice is a warm inclusive space where you can explore, heal, and grow - especially if you’re neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ or just figuring things out.
I offer a space that feels safe, human, down-to-earth and judgment-free.
I do things a little differently to help clients navigate life’s challenges with authenticity and purpose.
It’s not about perfection - it’s about connection; I support my clients to prioritise their wellbeing, explore who they are, and create meaningful change in their lives.
Therapy with me isn’t about diagnoses, fixing, or ticking boxes - it’s about real conversations, compassion, and growth that fits you.
Therapy isn’t selfish - it’s self-care that changes lives.
I can walk beside you and together we can start looking at what is worrying you, and how we can make things better through a deeper understanding of who you are.
I provide short-term or long-term therapy via in person sessions, remote/online or telephone sessions as well as text based counselling.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP registered integrative therapist, which means I am trained to use a variety of therapy modalities, including person-centred, psychodynamic, transactional analysis and gestalt theories. I also work in a trauma-informed way. This means I can tailor my approach to your personal needs and I can also use psychoeducation and creative counselling to support our sessions.
I am dedicated to providing you with a warm, compassionate and empathic accepting space, with no judgement, so that you can feel safe to share and explore your feelings, emotions and thoughts at your own pace. I am passionate about providing a safe space where you can do the work necessary to achieve this. I can walk beside you and together we can start looking at what is worrying you, and how we can make things better.
I currently hold:
Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
Level 4 Diploma in Rape and Sexual Abuse Counselling (East Kent Rape Crisis Centre)
Member organisations
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.

Further information
I have extensive experience of working within higher education, supporting the well being of young adults with their mental health, additional learning needs and disabilities as well as working with those who have experienced sexual assault.
I have lived experience of neurodiversity and being part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and feel strongly about inclusivity and diversity and representation. I work with people from all backgrounds and walks of life - I welcome clients of all genders, sexual orientations, ethnic backgrounds and belief systems.
I also strongly believe in the power of education, regularly engaging in continual professional development and training to ensure that I give you the best possible support I can. These have included courses on supporting survivors of rape and sexual assault, understanding neurodiversity, and inclusion and diversity. I am DBS checked, fully insured and registered with the ICO and I also consult with a supervisor every two weeks to maintain the highest professional ethical standards.
