About Jess

Dr. Jess Clapham uses a straightforward, person-focused approach to therapy. She draws on client-centred work and existential ideas to help people name what matters to them and make workable changes.

Jess is based in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She offers sessions in English and Welsh. People come to Jess for many reasons.

She supports those facing stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also works with career uncertainty, life changes, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, depression and ADHD.

Background and approach

Additional areas she pays attention to include adoption and foster care issues, attachment and family of origin concerns, and feelings of guilt or shame. In a typical meeting she focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s lead. Conversations aim to clarify values, choices and everyday practical steps.

She also combines coaching techniques for people who want clearer career direction or help with motivation. Her style is warm and direct. She aims to make sessions feel manageable, with short-term goals and review points.

That can help when someone needs to try new ways of coping or decide on their next move. Jess frames therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to shape goals and plans that fit their life and priorities.

If you want help sorting a problem or finding a new direction, she can talk it through with you.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. Sessions give you space to talk while the therapist reflects and follows your priorities, which can help with stress, self-esteem and relationship worries. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility and can be useful when people face big life changes or career decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jess will discuss your needs and preferences and together you will decide which ideas to try and how to use them. That shared planning lets you shape goals and practical steps that fit your situation.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy practical. Video is helpful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, between-session notes or people who find typing easier. These options offer flexibility so you can fit therapy around work, family and travel.
