About me
Hello, I’m Jess.
I’m a BACP registered counsellor offering online and telephone counselling for adults across
the UK.
I was drawn to counselling through my own experience of how valuable it can be to have a
space where you can be yourself, feel heard and feel genuinely supported.
I know that choosing a counsellor can feel very personal. My aim is to offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you don't need to have everything figured out or find the “right” words before you begin.
Outside the counselling room
Outside of counselling, I'm a mum to a toddler and enjoy spending time with family and friends. I love gardening, cooking, dancing, reading, getting creative and being outdoors, although admittedly a little less in the winter! I'm naturally curious too, and love history, mysteries and exploring the things we don't fully understand.
Alongside my private practice, I also work in a Home Care role that I enjoy and which keeps me connected to the realities and demands of everyday life.
Professional Background
Registered Member of the BACP
Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
Humanistic integrative counsellor
Fully insured and DBS checked
During my training placement with SWEDA, I supported people experiencing difficulties around eating, body image and self-worth.
I also volunteer with PANDAS Foundation UK, supporting people affected by perinatal mental health difficulties.
How I work
My approach is humanistic and integrative, which means I see you as a whole person and adapt the way I work to you, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sessions give you space to talk openly about whatever feels important. We might explore what is happening in your life now, experiences from the past, your relationships, patterns you've noticed, or the way you see yourself. There is no pressure to arrive knowing exactly what you want to talk about or to find the ‘right’ words.
At the heart of my work is the relationship we build together. I aim to offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood. Together, we can make sense of what is happening and explore what might help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.
Thinking about counselling?
If you feel I might be someone you could talk to, you're welcome to get in touch.
