Jess uses client-centred ways of working. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. She listens to how problems affect day-to-day life and helps clients find their own solutions. She also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning, choices and identity when people face big life questions.
In practice she will discuss goals and practical steps together. Sessions can address work pressures, relationship and family issues, grief, anger and managing low mood. She also supports people concerned about ADHD, parenting, adoption and family of origin issues among other topics.
Her background includes one-to-one counselling and coaching with adults in professional settings. She describes three years of professional work supporting motivation, confidence and career development. Her BACP membership is listed as her professional affiliation.
People who contact her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking. This helps identify priorities and whether her approach fits the current need. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How client-centred and existential approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's concerns at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens, reflects what matters to the client and supports them to find their own solutions. It is often used for stress, confidence, work-related issues and day-to-day coping challenges.Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and identity. It helps when people are facing big life questions, transitions or uncertainty about purpose. Conversations look at values and options rather than prescribing specific techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client will decide together which style fits best for current goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as sessions progress so the way of working can change if needed.
The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. This can make it easier to attend short check-ins around work or to keep continuity when circumstances change. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, since options are listed on the service's appointment pages. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to help people maintain continuity of care and to make counselling more convenient.
