Jessica Phippard

As a therapist specialising in neurodivergent conditions, it is my aim is to hold a safe and inclusive space where you can explore your unique experiences without judgement. Being diagnosed with ADHD myself, I appreciate how difficult and overwhelming life can feel at times!

I bring a deep understanding and appreciation for the diverse ways in which we all experience the world and am passionate about helping others lift their masks and embrace their authentic selves! Whether you are autistic, have ADHD, dyslexia, or any other neurodivergent identity, I am committed to providing tailored support that honours your specific needs and perspectives.

Counselling/Psychotherapy

Adults and young people 13+

I will challenge you, I will laugh with you and I will accept you without judgement. I am warm and curious in developing my understanding of who you are and what you bring. I can help you recognise what is holding you back and give you tools to thrive. 

I am a pluralistic counsellor which means that I call upon a range of theories in our work together and tailor my approach and interventions to suit you. I am predominantly person-centred in my belief that you hold your own answers and I am there to facilitate this process, incorporating Psychodynamic (looking at childhood/subconscious patterns of behaviour) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy/Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles along the way.

I can also offer coaching for ADHD and ASC to support you in adapting your environment and improving your relationships. I work with you to develop coping strategies, enhance self-awareness, and build resilience. 

Behaviour Coaching

Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and disconnected from your teenager? 

I provide behaviour coaching in addition to my counselling service where I coach young people with or without a neurodivergent identity to help them recognise their patterns of behaviour and implement strategies to improve their relationships.

I am relaxed with a sense of humour and have a great track record for keeping young people engaged in the process 😊

I am experienced in supporting young people to manage:

• Emotional Dysregulation - implusivity, aggression, anxiety, overwhelm
• Low self-esteem
• Lack of motivation
• Self-harming behaviours
• Drug taking
• Difficulties building relationships
• ADHD/ASD specific difficulties
• Rejection sensitivity
• Demand avoidance
• Worries about the future

I work alongside parents to support the young person in implementing positive change. Every 5/6 sessions I will meet with caregivers to share what the young person would like me to and offer guidance on how to continue making progress at home and school. 

Get in touch and let's have a chat about what you would like help with - I offer a free 15 minute introductory call to all new clients.

I offer a free 15 minute consultation if required.

Standard session (60 minutes) £60

Longer session (90 minutes) £85

6 x standard session block booking £320

I have one concessionary space per week currently available at half price fees for those on a low income or counselling students.

I work fully online and can provide video/telephone call, text or email counselling sessions which can be decided on a flexible basis to accommodate busy schedules or periods of overwhelm.

Sometimes you might not feel able to sit down face to face, so instead of cancelling and losing your session, we can switch to another online platform such as WhatsApp instant messaging to take the pressure off.

Please get in touch for more information about multiplatform counselling as I have an information sheet I can provide to explain how it works.
