About Jessica

Jessica Dodd works on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem and compassion fatigue using a person-centred approach alongside other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience.

Jessica encourages open conversation and steady pacing. Sessions focus on what is most troubling right now, and on small, practical steps to reduce pressure. She listens to how people describe their feelings and responds with questions and reflections to help clarify what matters.

Her work often addresses attachment issues, body image and codependency, as well as communication problems and commitment concerns. She also supports people facing control issues, divorce and separation, and the emotions of guilt, shame or forgiveness. These topics are approached through talking, noticing patterns, and trying different ways of responding.

Jessica has worked with people dealing with panic attacks, mood difficulties, post-traumatic stress and the changes that come with pregnancy and childbirth. She also helps those feeling isolated or unsure about life purpose. Practical steps and manageable experiments in day-to-day life are used alongside conversation.

She aims to make sessions clear and straightforward, with an emphasis on collaboration. New clients are guided through an initial matching and booking process so they know what to expect before the first meeting.

Background and approach are rooted in person-centred practice with complementary methods drawn in as needed. Jessica uses her five years of experience to help people find clearer ways of thinking, feeling and relating that fit their day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling

Person-centred work places the client's experience at the heart of each session, focusing on listening, reflection and supporting the person's own way of finding solutions. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, low self-esteem and general stress.

Complementary evidence-based techniques are also used to address specific difficulties such as panic symptoms or trauma reactions. These methods involve clear, practical exercises and ways of noticing unhelpful patterns in thinking and reacting; they can help with mood changes, panic and post-traumatic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss options in early sessions and adjust methods based on the client's goals, needs and preferences. Decisions about pace and focus are made together so therapy feels manageable.
