About Jessica
Jessica Douglas is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who centres conversation in the room. She uses Transactional Analysis as her main model and adapts other methods to fit what each person brings. Jessica aims to offer a calm space where people can tell their story in their own words and feel heard without jargon.
She describes her style as assimilative and integrative, which means she draws from several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape a plan that suits a person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions begin with a simple discussion about what someone wants to change or understand. Together they agree a treatment plan and a likely length of work, whether that is a one-off single session, a short block of six to eight weeks, or longer-term therapy of twenty sessions or more.
Jessica values the working relationship and says openness matters more than having walked the same life path. She listens with curiosity and offers reflections to help people notice patterns, emotions and choices. Her interests cover many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, ADHD and challenges linked to sexuality and LGBT matters.
She works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework and has four years of practice experience. Core hours are typically mid-morning to early evening on most weekdays, with evening and weekend times possible by request. Jessica follows professional guidance about remaining well enough to practise and will reschedule if unwell.

How Jessica’s approaches translate to remote counselling
Transactional Analysis is Jessica’s core model; it looks at how people communicate and how early patterns influence current relationships. It can help with recurring conflicts, low self-esteem and unhelpful interaction habits. She also uses a mix of evidence-based techniques from other therapeutic models to tailor work to a person’s needs, drawing on methods aimed at managing anxiety, mood and coping skills.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jessica will talk with each person about their goals, try out different ways of working and agree a plan together. If a single session is wanted, that can be used as a focused review; short-term blocks or longer-term work are options depending on what someone prefers and needs.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping appointments that would otherwise be hard to reach. Before booking, check which session formats she currently offers since the profile does not list them explicitly. Many people find remote sessions helpful for regular check-ins, shorter reviews or for making therapy easier to fit around work and family commitments.
