About Jessica

Jessica "Jess" Smith helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem and ADHD. She is available to work with issues linked to family strain, communication problems and separation. Jess presents herself in a calm and approachable way to make talking about difficult things easier.

Jess uses a range of therapeutic styles and adapts her way of working to each person. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual.

Background and approach

She listens closely, reflects what she hears and offers practical steps to try between meetings. Her practice draws on Client-Centred work to create a respectful, non-judgemental space. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy methods are used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when the aim is to understand and change patterns in close relationships. In addition, Jess brings elements of Jungian thinking and mindfulness to help people explore deeper themes and build simple daily practices for calmer moments. These approaches are blended, not presented as rules, and are shared only when they suit the client's goals.

Jess holds membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Ways of working Jessica names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online working

Jessica blends Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space so people can speak freely and make their own discoveries; it helps when someone needs a steady, understanding presence. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test new ways of responding, which is useful for anxiety and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy explores patterns in relationships and helps people recognise and change repetitive interaction cycles, which can help with communication and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jess treats that as a joint process and will help you decide what to try first based on your goals, needs and preferences. She adapts methods over time and checks in regularly to see what is or isn't helping.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is helpful when non-verbal cues matter, phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity between meetings.
