Jessica Douglas

Jessica Douglas is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who uses Transactional Analysis as her core model. She introduces herself simply and plainly, offering a space where people can tell their story in their own words. Jessica aims to listen with curiosity and reflect what she hears, so clients can make sense of difficult feelings and choices.

Jessica describes her style as assimilative and integrative, which means she draws on different therapeutic ideas to fit each person’s needs. She sees therapy as a conversation between two people shaped by their life experiences, and she prioritises an honest, human connection in sessions.

She offers flexible planning options. This can include a single-session approach, short work over six to eight weeks, or longer-term psychotherapy with more than 20 sessions. How long therapy lasts depends on the goals agreed during the initial meeting and treatment planning.

Core working hours are usually 10am to 7pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with evening and weekend appointments available on request. Jessica follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical expectations and will discuss any need to postpone sessions if she becomes unwell.

Jessica has four years of experience and works from the United Kingdom. She supports people with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD and isolation or loneliness.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Transactional Analysis is the primary model Jessica uses; it looks at everyday patterns in how people relate and communicate. This approach can help someone understand recurring interactions, unhelpful self-talk and how past roles influence present behaviour.

She also works in an assimilative, integrative way by borrowing techniques from other evidence-based methods to meet a person’s needs. That means practical tools or reflective conversation can be combined depending on whether someone is coping with anxiety, grief, loneliness or workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative task. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life demands with the person seeking help, and together they will choose methods that seem most helpful. Plans can be adjusted as work progresses so the style of therapy remains a good fit.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and saving travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to have short check-ins or to continue therapy during life changes. Because the biography did not specify session formats, confirm the current online options when booking to ensure they meet your needs.
