About Jessica

BACP psychotherapeutic counsellor with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. Jessica Douglas focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression and a broad range of life changes and relational concerns. She uses Transactional Analysis as her core model and draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person's needs.

Jessica describes the therapeutic relationship as a conversation between two people shaped by their life experience. She aims to listen, reflect and help clients make sense of what they are facing. Sessions begin by outlining a therapeutic plan and contract so people know what to expect and what their goals are.

She offers flexible approaches, including single-session work, short-term plans of around six to eight weeks, or longer-term psychotherapy when useful. The length of work varies by the person's goals and the agreed contract made in early sessions. Evening and weekend appointments are available on request.

Jessica follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework and notes an ethical requirement to ensure her own wellbeing supports good practice. If she becomes unwell, she informs clients and offers the choice to reschedule or postpone until she has sufficiently recovered.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How therapeutic approaches inform online work

Transactional Analysis looks at the patterns in how people relate and communicate. Online sessions can use this to identify recurring ways of thinking and interacting and then try different responses. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, self-esteem and communication problems.

Integrative, evidence-based techniques draw on a small range of proven methods to address symptoms and skills. These might include short structured work to manage anxiety or longer exploratory work for trauma and grief. Each technique focuses on practical steps a person can use between sessions as well as what is covered in conversation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options, goals and preferences with the client and decide together which methods to use. That discussion happens during the initial treatment planning and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of work when plans change, while keeping the same collaborative focus on practical steps and agreed goals.
