About Jessica
Jessica Harris welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She writes in a direct, calm way and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and safe. Jessica works with individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns, as well as people navigating life changes and LGBT issues.
She uses practical talking and listening to help people make sense of what is happening for them.
How Jessica works
Sessions focus on the problems a person brings, and on small steps to feel better between meetings. Jessica blends client-centred listening with tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and psychodynamic ideas about patterns and past experiences. Jessica holds a BACP credential, which is recorded as BACP, and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
That background informs a straightforward, respectful style that aims to meet each person where they are. She adapts language and pace to suit the person in front of her. In a typical session she will listen first, then work with the person to set clear, realistic goals.
Therapy can include practical strategies for anxiety and low mood, and conversations about relationships, identity and self-worth. The focus is on what matters most to the person seeking help. Taking the initial step can feel daunting.
Jessica offers a calm, steady space to talk things through and to decide what practical next steps look like.

Online support options
How Jessica's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide which changes matter most in their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical techniques for anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic ideas help people notice repeated patterns that come from past relationships and life events and consider how those patterns affect current choices.Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can change over time as priorities shift, and the therapist will check in about what is helping and what needs adjusting.
Online sessions make it easier to book around work, study and family commitments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while still using the same therapeutic tools and collaborative planning used in in-person work.
