About Jessica

Jessica Cooke uses a flexible, person-centred approach to help people find clearer ways forward. She aims to build a straightforward, trusting relationship where people feel listened to and understood. Jess works in plain language and focuses on what a person needs in practice rather than on jargon.

She draws on a range of approaches to suit different problems, including cognitive approaches and solution-focused techniques. This means sessions might look different depending on whether someone wants short-term strategies or deeper exploration of past experiences.

Background and approach

Jess adapts her style to each person and their goals. Clients bring many kinds of concerns, such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, life changes, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD and anger.

Additional work covers areas like ageing and geriatric issues, autism and neurodiversity-related concerns, and caregiver stress. With 16 years’ experience across healthcare settings and independent practice, Jess aims to offer practical steps as well as space to reflect. She listens for what is working and what isn’t, then suggests small experiments or different ways of thinking to try between sessions.

Sessions are tailored and collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all. Jess is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people in the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English.

Her style is calm, direct and supportive, focused on helping people make changes they find meaningful.

How Jessica’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship where the client’s own goals lead the work. It helps when someone wants to be heard and understood and to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and offers practical techniques to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about what they want to change and try different ways of working together. That means the plan can start simple and shift over time, depending on what helps most and what the person prefers.

Online therapy offers a range of formats to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief reflections or for people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to organise regular sessions around work, caring responsibilities or mobility limits, and allow a steady, practical way to work on goals from wherever is most convenient.
