About me
Hello I'm Jessica, as a qualified, registered and accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor, I provide counselling and therapy to individuals and couples.
You are welcome contact me to book an intro phone or video call.
My specialisms
Couples counselling and Couples therapy:
- I specialise in helping couple clients improve and make their relationships better, healthier and safer. For couples where communication is difficult, leads to misunderstandings and arguments, in couples counselling we identify communication styles that support instead of hinder connection and closeness for example. Or for couples where lack of intimacy has become an issue and couples want to but don't know how to bring this back into their relationship, working mainly from the CBT approach, couples are helped to develop a more fuller and deeper understanding of how thoughts and feelings and behaviours can be brought together to support and achieve their aims.
Other issues I help with:
The clients I see for counselling and therapy present with wide ranging issues from anxiety and depression to difficulties in their relationships. Often clients can feel lost, are seeking a sense of direction and to have better understanding of themselves. As a result I have developed extensive experience and specialist areas in my therapy practice that include seeing clients wanting counselling for anxiety and depression for example, as well as with clients looking to make big life decisions and to work on areas such as their personal development. Additionally clients wanting their counselling work to help deal with addictions, work related issues and eating disorders. I also see couples who want to resolve problems, skills to better communicate and take next steps in their relationship.
How I practice:
The way I practice incorporates the Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Existential approach, tailoring these according to what you want to work and focus on. Together we’ll identify the issues which are causing problems and work towards freeing you from them. Whether you need to meet once or more weekly, for either short or long term counselling and psychotherapy. The process of counselling can be difficult and challenging, the therapist who is right for you will be aware of your experiences of this and will be able to hold a safe space where you will also feel at ease and be able to go at your own pace. Being aware of how anxious the process of reaching out and opening up can be enables me to maintain a nonjudgmental, warm and professional therapeutic space so that your counselling can also be fulfilling and rewarding. As well as being your space and time to reflect, to be and to strengthen your psychological and emotional resources that helps you to get the most out of life.
Who I work with:
I work with a broad range of people with a wide variety of issues. I respect that each person is an individual and understand that your successful outcome will be as unique as you are. I will help you to find your voice, explore your choices and understand yourself better.
Will I be the right fit for you:
To help you answer this, you can email or phone me. There is also the option to contact me for an introductory call, which helps both you and I to get a sense of how we would work together and if I could be the right therapist for you. The process of finding out if I could be the right therapist for you is very much about supporting and respecting your choice.

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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Life, work, and relationship coaching:
Whether you want to focus on life, work or relationship coaching, my training and experience will help you improve, achieve and make the most out of life. You may be looking to make changes but are not sure where to begin, how to attain the goals you set for yourself and develop your potential. It is during times like these that clients reach out and work with someone who can offer and add a coaching perspective, helping them identify and move from stage to stage. Also to make sense and decide what it means and looks like for you to live a more fulfilling and rewarding life.
The way we work will be grounded and realistic using approaches and techniques from coaching theories, CBT and existentialism. Involving key principles such as choice and decisions, facing fears and courage, uncertainty and living, with a view for coaching to help you experience what it is like to have more self agency and fulfilment.
Nutrition:
To further support my work with clients dealing with particular issues such as food for instance, I embarked on additional training and qualified as a nutritional advisor. I did this further professional development to help me gain further and in-depth understanding to support my work helping clients understand their relationship with food and any eating disorders that they are working to overcome.
Other issues:
Similarly with depression and anxiety, as well as self esteem, confidence, work place issues, and addictions; including alcohol addiction, sex addiction and food addiction. I have additional interest and professional development in these areas.
