About Jess

Dr. Jess Clapham is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions. Jess also helps people who are struggling with anger, relationship strain, parenting pressures and career setbacks.

Jess uses straightforward conversation and practical support rather than jargon. She offers coaching-style work for executives and professionals alongside counselling for personal issues. Sessions focus on what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning and what small changes could reduce repeated frustration and resentment.

Her approach centres on listening to each person's concerns and focusing on present problems. With Client-Centred Therapy, the emphasis is on the client's perspective and choices. Existential Therapy is used to look at meaning, responsibility and how someone wants to live their life when facing difficult feelings.

People meet with Jess to boost motivation, build confidence, and cope with grief or trauma after a life change. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, attachment and family of origin problems where these affect current mood and behaviour. The work can include practical strategies for managing temper and improving communication.

Sessions are delivered in plain language with clear goals and steps. Jess encourages people to set manageable targets and to try changes between sessions. This practical focus helps people test what works for them and adjust the plan as needed.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and supporting their own choices; online sessions use that same emphasis to help someone notice patterns and try small changes. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, responsibility and how a person wants to live; online discussions can clarify values and priorities when anger or frustration feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jess will work with clients to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as the practical work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people try techniques between sessions in everyday settings and then review what did or didn’t help with their therapist.
