About Jessica
Jessica Russell is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of professional experience supporting people who are coping with stress, anxiety and life changes. Jessica also helps people facing relationship issues and those exploring LGBT concerns and sexuality.
She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that fit into everyday life.
Background and approach
Jessica aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters most to them and make steady progress. Her work often centres on improving confidence, motivation and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, feelings of guilt or shame, and a sense of isolation or loneliness.
Workplace pressures and questions about life purpose are other common topics she addresses. Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and shape plans. She works collaboratively to identify goals and to try approaches that suit each person.
The emphasis is on practical coping skills and clearer choices rather than quick fixes. People who choose to work with Jessica can expect straightforward language and a steady focus on usable strategies. She encourages honest discussion about progress and adjusts the approach as needs change.

How evidence-based techniques work in online therapy
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, drawing on approaches that focus on skills and practical change. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and panic - it teaches how to recognise triggers and practise breathing and grounding strategies to reduce distress. Another approach concentrates on building self-esteem and motivation by identifying strengths and setting small achievable goals to increase confidence and action.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide what methods to try. This collaborative process makes it easier to adapt techniques to fit how someone likes to work and what they want to get from therapy.
Confirm the specific session formats available before you book, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing quicker check-ins during a lunch break, or choosing options that do not require being on camera. These practical benefits help many people maintain steady progress alongside day-to-day commitments.
