About Jessica
Jessica Dodd offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She is named as a counsellor with a BACP registration and brings five years of practice to her work. Jessica aims to create a calm space where clients feel heard and respected as they talk through difficult feelings.
Her style is collaborative and steady. She uses a person-centred way of working, which means sessions focus on the client’s priorities and pace. She also draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor the work to each person’s needs.
In sessions Jessica helps people untangle attachment issues, body image concerns, codependency and commitment worries. She also supports those dealing with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and the guilt or shame that can follow difficult events.
Jessica works with mood and panic disorders, post-traumatic stress and the particular pressures around pregnancy and childbirth. She offers practical, down-to-earth conversations alongside reflective exercises to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Clients can expect a warm and grounded presence in the room. Jessica emphasises moving at a person’s pace, respecting what matters most to them, and working together to find helpful next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and how they help online
Jessica primarily uses a person-centred approach, which means sessions focus on the client’s concerns and move at their pace. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and make sense of their experience. She also draws on other evidence-based techniques to provide practical strategies and gentle reflection for issues like anxiety, codependency and attachment difficulties.These approaches are blended with attention to real-life tasks. Techniques may include noticing unhelpful patterns, trying small behaviour changes between sessions, and using reflective questions to deepen self-understanding. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods feel most useful, adapting the plan as goals and needs become clearer.
If you are considering online work, please check the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Many people find online counselling can fit more easily into a busy day, reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. It can also allow for quieter check-ins that are shorter when needed, or sessions that suit different energy levels and practical constraints.
