About me

Welcome! I am an experienced CBT and EMDR therapist offering psychological therapies, as well as clinical supervision. I am committed to safe, ethical and professional evidence-based psychological care. I'm a fully qualified and accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapist and owner at Your Therapy with Jess. 

Thinking about therapy is often a courageous first step that you may have been meaning to take for a while, and it can be paired with anxiety, both about choosing the right therapist and the right therapy. ​I have worked with people experiencing emotional difficulties or distress for almost 15 years. 

I offer a safe, professional, friendly and confidential service for people who are experiencing distress or struggling to move on with their lives in some way. This might include anxiety, low mood or depression, lack of confidence or the after effects of distressing experiences or trauma.

Your Therapy With Jess can help with:

  • Depression
  • PTSD/C-PTSD
  • Chronic pain
  • Panic Disorder
  • OCD
  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
  • Health Anxiety
  • Phobia
  • Low self-esteem 
  • Self-harm
  • Long-term health conditions 
  • Disordered eating
