/ ABOUT ME /

A little about me

Hi I'm Jess

I’m a BACP-registered counsellor, offering person-centred counselling for children, young people, and adults in a calm, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. I’ve been working in private practice and mental health services since 2018, providing therapy both in person and online.

My approach is mainly person-centred, meaning we’ll work together at your pace, focusing on what is most valuable to you. Where helpful, I may also draw on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT).

I’ve supported children through my work with the charity Place2Be, offering child counselling in school settings using both play and talking therapies. I’ve also worked with adults through video/telephone sessions, helping clients explore a range of challenges — from anxiety and low mood to life transitions and stress.

I've worked for one of the UK’s largest Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), delivering short-term, structured therapy including computerised CBT and solution-focused support.

Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, I aim to make the counselling experience feel safe, collaborative, and genuinely helpful — a space to explore, reflect, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Services

Adults

I offer a calm, supportive space for adults to explore their feelings using a person-centred approach. We'll work together at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you.

Depending on your needs, I also integrate techniques from CBT and SFT, keeping sessions practical and relevant.

Therapy can be short or long-term, always tailored to ensure the experience feels genuinely helpful and collaborative.

Adult Counselling

Children & Young People

I support children and young people (ages 6-16) in a relaxed, safe space to explore their emotions. For younger clients, I often use play therapy, while older children benefit from a person-centred approach adapted just for them.

Together, we’ll build strategies they can use to navigate their feelings confidently in daily life.

Young People Counselling

“

Jessica worked with my daughter for a period of time with her confidence and separation issues, following on from the pandemic. She provided her with strategies to employ when she needed them, and gave her the confidence to believe in herself. After a number of sessions with Jess my daughter even attended a two night residential with school, something I never believed she would ever have the confidence to do previously.

She always came out of her sessions happy and full of energy which is all you ever want your child to be, for this we will be forever in her debt.
