Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My name is Jessica and I'm a person-centred, integrative counsellor. I'm able to incorporate different therapeutic models, skills and techniques to meet the needs of each individual.
I have over 4 years of professional work experience and I believe the most important element for successful counselling is the therapeutic relationship. My role is to offer a non-judgmental, confidential and empathic space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Counselling offers you the freedom to discuss your difficulties and help you gain an insight into your emotions and behaviours. I'm motivated to help individuals find the awareness, clarify and resources to help themselves. Together we can address immediate problems and identify habits that are affecting you and your relationships.
I work psychodynamically which means being aware of how our past effects the present, greater awareness allows us to make better choices and fulfil our potential.
Choosing counselling is the first step forward in resolving your difficulties. Whether you are looking to explore current issues, gain an understanding of how your past affects you today or have concerns about the future, I will support you on your journey.
My areas of expertise are: anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement, loss, self-esteem, trauma, work related issues, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, child related issues and addiction.
Clinical approaches: Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Solution Based Therapy.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
