About Jessica
Jessica Harris helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems and low self-esteem by using conversation and practical techniques. She works with concerns including depression, coping with life changes, LGBT issues, parenting and career questions. Jessica is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy in her work. In sessions she listens to what matters to the individual and then suggests steps that fit their situation. That might include talking through patterns of thought and behaviour with CBT or looking at past experiences and relationships with psychodynamic ideas.
Jessica aims to address specific issues like attachment and abandonment worries, body image and self-love, and the stress that comes with caregiving or workplace problems. She also supports people facing prejudice, discrimination or cultural concerns, and those dealing with isolation and social anxiety.
Practical topics such as intimacy-related issues, sexuality, and young adult challenges are part of her focus. Jessica also works with people affected by trauma and abuse and those managing mood conditions including bipolar, concentrating on coping strategies and everyday routines.
People who choose to work with her start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Sessions operate through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room and on open, respectful listening. The counsellor encourages people to describe what matters to them and responds in ways that help them find their own solutions; this approach can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and workplace stress.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past experiences and recurring relationship patterns. It can help people understand how earlier events influence present reactions and intimacy-related issues.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then agree a plan together. Adjustments can be made as therapy progresses to match what is most useful.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, studies or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use this flexibility to help people keep therapy part of everyday life.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
