About Jess
Dr. Jess Clapham is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years of professional experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career challenges, coping with life changes and relationship difficulties. Sessions are conducted in English and Welsh and she accepts international clients.
Jess draws on client-centred practice to focus on each person’s experience and priorities. That means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and use discussion to build clear next steps. She also uses existential ideas to help people consider meaning, choices and values when facing big life changes or career decisions.
Her background includes supporting people with trauma, grief and parenting pressures, as well as work around ADHD, anger and depression. She has also worked with issues linked to adoption and foster care, abandonment, attachment and family of origin concerns. Jess brings practical coaching and mentoring experience for executives and professionals alongside her counselling work.
In a session she talks through current problems, examines what is getting in the way and helps clients try new ways of coping. She aims to produce straightforward, real-world strategies that fit day-to-day life. That can include short exercises, planning steps between sessions and checking progress over time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. If you prefer to discuss language or other practical details first, note that she works in English and Welsh.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. Online sessions using this approach tend to emphasise listening, clarifying what matters right now and agreeing small, practical steps to try between meetings. It can help with anxiety, self-esteem and everyday stresses.Existential Therapy looks at values, responsibility and the choices people face. Online conversations can be used to examine career direction, life purpose and responses to big changes, helping people reflect and make decisions that fit their values.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and immediate needs and then recommend which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as the client’s situation changes.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit sessions into a busy week, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in at lunchtime or avoiding camera use when preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can make practical arrangements to match routines and technical needs without changing the therapeutic focus.
