About

About Jessica

Jessica Harris offers a calm, respectful space for people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low. She is Jessica Harris, a BACP counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She listens without judgement and works with each person at their own pace.

Her practice focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and the strain of life changes. She also supports people navigating relationship concerns, intimacy issues, parenting pressures and workplace stress.

Background and approach

LGBT and multicultural concerns are listed among her areas of focus, and she aims to respond with sensitivity to prejudice and discrimination when it affects wellbeing. Jessica uses a blend of talking approaches to suit different needs. She draws on client-centred work to make space for people to lead conversations.

She uses aspects of cognitive behavioural methods to help notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also considers psychodynamic ideas when exploring how past experiences affect present life. Sessions are tailored to each person, so practical goals and the pace of work are set together.

Jessica emphasises clear, straightforward conversation and realistic steps you can try between sessions. She encourages small, concrete changes that add up over time. Signing up begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability.

The aim is to make the process simple and to help people feel less stuck as they move forward.

Online support

How Jessica's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, making space for what matters most in the moment. This approach can help people feel heard and make sense of confusing emotions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress as it offers concrete steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use and will adjust the plan as needs and goals change. That way the therapy stays relevant and practical.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions may be scheduled around work, study or family routines and can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when situations call for brief support. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to offer continuity of care for people who are travelling or living overseas.
