About Jessica
Jessica Gibbons is a down-to-earth counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so clients can create changes that last. Jess writes in a friendly way and keeps sessions simple and direct for people who are feeling overwhelmed.
She uses an integrative style that centres the person in the room. That means conversations begin with what matters to the client and then draw on different techniques as needed.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural skills may be offered when helpful to tackle anxious thoughts and unhelpful patterns. Her practice has supported people facing low mood, relationship strain, bereavement, trauma and everyday stress. Sessions are intended to be a place to be heard and to work through problems at a steady pace.
Jess aims to help clients set small, manageable goals and try practical strategies between sessions. Jessica holds NCPS as a listed credential and has three years of experience in counselling work. She sees people in the United Kingdom and works in English.
International clients are not accepted at this time. Therapy sessions are available online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location and availability.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.
How evidence-led approaches work online
Jessica uses an integrative, person-centred base which prioritises the client’s concerns and values their pace. Person-centred work emphasises listening, reflection and building a trusting relationship to help people feel understood and make steady changes.She can also draw on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with anxiety and stress. CBT skills focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes, which can reduce worry and improve daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and adapt techniques to match a client's goals, preferences and circumstances. That way the plan is collaborative rather than imposed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and text-based options support shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. Live chat and messaging make it easier to touch base between longer sessions. These formats help people access therapy around work, caring responsibilities or mobility limits.
