About Jessica
Jessica has three years of experience working across charities and in the private sector. She has worked directly with people who have survived rape and sexual assault and has training that focuses on trauma. She treats each person as an individual rather than a diagnosis and aims to understand how their experiences shape their life.
In sessions she keeps the process practical and grounded. Conversations cover what feels most urgent and what small steps could help between meetings. She pays attention to safety and pacing when working with painful memories or trauma.
Jessica encourages people to name the feelings that matter most to them and to try new ways of coping. She is calm and respectful in the room, and aims to make difficult topics feel manageable. Many clients use sessions to rebuild confidence, improve communication, and reduce feelings of isolation.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
Therapeutic techniques and how they help online
Jessica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on managing distress and processing difficult experiences. One approach she uses concentrates on stabilisation and grounding skills to help reduce intense anxiety and panic symptoms; this involves learning simple breathing, grounding and pacing strategies to use between sessions. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed work that helps people make sense of painful memories and gradually build coping capacity, taking care with timing and emotional safety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss which techniques seem to fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made or as challenges appear.
If you plan to do therapy online, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit around daily life, remove travel time, and make it easier to maintain regular appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, or offer quieter, camera-off conversations when that suits the person.
