About Jessica
Jessica Douglas works from an integrative approach that centres conversation and connection. She is a BACP counsellor who aims to give people a calm space to tell their story and make sense of what is happening. Her style is straightforward and human, with an emphasis on practical steps and listening.
She uses Transactional Analysis as a core model and draws on other evidence-based techniques to shape each plan. This means sessions are adapted to the individual rather than following a fixed script.
How Jessica works
Jessica offers single-session options, short-term programmes of six to eight weeks, or longer-term work when that suits the person. In the room she pays attention to how people relate, their patterns of attachment, and the life events that affect mood and behaviour. She helps with stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, depression, and coping with major life changes.
She also supports people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Additional areas she addresses include ADHD, bipolar concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting pressures, workplace stress, and problems with communication or isolation. Jessica also works with issues connected to LGBT identity, abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, and seasonal mood changes.
She is based in the United Kingdom and has four years of clinical experience. Core hours are usually 10am to 7pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with evening and weekend appointments available on request. The BACP credential is shown as provided in her profile.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Transactional Analysis focuses on how people communicate and the roles they take in interactions. Online sessions can use this approach to map patterns in relationships and identify unhelpful scripts so the person can try different responses.Integrative evidence-based techniques involve selecting practical tools from several therapies to match the issue at hand. This may include short-term problem solving for anxiety or planned longer-term work for mood and trauma-related concerns, with activities agreed between counsellor and client.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to set goals and review what helps, adjusting methods as needed to fit the person's needs and preferences.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging gives flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
