About Jessica

Jessica Douglas works on stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem and life changes using psychotherapy and talking therapies. She describes herself as an assimilative, integrative therapist who bases her practice on Transactional Analysis while drawing on other models as needed. Jessica is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

She aims to make time for people to tell their story in their own words and to look at what is happening in their lives. Sessions focus on clear conversation, reflection and practical planning. She offers single-session work, short blocks of 6 to 8 weeks, or longer-term therapy of 20+ sessions depending on what a client wants.

Jessica sees the therapeutic relationship as two people relating through their lived experience. She listens, reflects, and uses Transactional Analysis as her core model while adapting techniques from other approaches to fit a client's goals. Initial sessions include a treatment plan and a therapeutic contract to agree the work.

Her core hours are usually 10am to 7pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with evening and weekend appointments by request. She notes that sickness or ill health may affect session timing, and will offer clients the choice to reschedule when that happens.

Practical matters such as cost vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Jessica does not currently accept international clients and provides sessions in English.

How Jessica uses therapeutic approaches in remote sessions

Jessica describes Transactional Analysis as her core model of therapy. This approach looks at how people communicate and relate, and helps to identify patterns in interactions and self‑beliefs that can be changed to improve relationships and self‑view.

She also works in an assimilative, integrative way, drawing specific techniques from other evidence-based therapeutic methods when they suit a client's goals. Those techniques might include focused single-session work for one-off concerns or structured short-term plans for symptom relief and practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in the first meeting and agree a plan together, adjusting methods as required during the course of therapy.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, for instance by arranging a phone session if that better matches a client's needs.
