About Jessica

Jessica Douglas is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression and life changes, and supports those coping with grief, addictions, sleep and eating concerns. Jessica also helps with relationship and intimacy questions, career and workplace issues, and difficulties linked to ADHD and mood problems.

She describes her work as conversational and practical. Jessica uses Transactional Analysis as her core model and draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit a person’s needs. Sessions focus on allowing clients to tell their story and to make sense of what is happening in their life.

Jessica aims to agree a clear treatment plan and a working contract at the start. She offers short term options such as a single session or 6–8 week plans, and longer term work when appropriate. How long therapy lasts depends on the goals set together and what a client wants to work towards.

She sees the therapeutic relationship as two people relating through their lived experience. If a client and therapist are not a good fit, Jessica supports a match with another practitioner. She also follows the BACP Ethical Framework and will discuss rescheduling if illness affects her ability to work.

Sessions are arranged around her core hours and evening or weekend appointments can be offered on request. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the site matching process to set up an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Jessica uses Transactional Analysis as her main approach. Transactional Analysis looks at the ways people communicate and the roles they adopt in interactions. It can help with repeated patterns that feed frustration, boundary problems and relationship conflict.

She also draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support mood, anxiety and stress. These approaches typically focus on practical strategies - for example spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, building routine changes, or rehearsing different responses to triggers. Such techniques can be useful for managing anger, panic, low mood and workplace stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica discusses goals and preferences with clients and decides together which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps tailor the sessions to what a person wants to achieve.

The biography does not state specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to work at times that suit them, such as outside core work hours, while the therapist and client agree practical arrangements together.
