About Jessica
Jessica Douglas is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression and a wide range of life challenges, including social anxiety and phobia.
Jessica uses an assimilative, integrative style with Transactional Analysis as her main model. She blends ideas from other approaches to fit what each person needs, and she discusses a clear plan and contract at the start of work.
Sessions begin with a first meeting to set goals and decide on length and focus. Jessica offers single-session options, short-term plans of six to eight weeks, or longer-term work of twenty or more sessions depending on what the client wants to address.
She describes the therapeutic relationship as a conversation between two people shaped by their life experiences. In practice this means listening, reflecting what the client says, and using that material to guide the work together.
Her usual hours are 10am to 7pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with evening and weekend slots available on request. Jessica follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and will let clients know if ill health affects her ability to run sessions, offering rescheduling or postponement as needed.
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Jessica primarily uses Transactional Analysis, which looks at how people communicate and the roles they take in relationships. Online sessions can use this to notice patterns such as critical or withdrawn responses and practice new ways of interacting in everyday situations.She also works in an assimilative, integrative way, drawing in helpful tools from other evidence-based techniques when needed. This means cognitive or behavioural ideas may be used alongside Transactional Analysis to address symptoms like panic, avoidance or low mood and to develop practical coping steps.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the early work. The therapist will explore a client’s needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together rather than imposing one approach.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still focusing on the same therapeutic tasks as face-to-face sessions.
