Jessica Douglas

Jessica Douglas is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who uses Transactional Analysis as her core model. She aims to create a calm space where people can tell their story in their own words and make sense of what is happening. She writes treatment plans that fit each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

She describes herself as an assimilative, integrative therapist who brings together ideas from different models to match client needs. Sessions focus on conversation and reflection, with the therapist listening closely and offering questions that help people notice patterns in relationships and feelings. Jessica says the therapeutic relationship is two people relating through their lived experience.

Practical arrangements are explained up front. Jessica offers single-session work, short-term plans of about six to eight weeks, or longer psychotherapy of 20 sessions or more. She discusses goals and timeframes during the first meeting so you know what to expect.

Her core working hours are usually 10am to 7pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with evening and weekend slots available on request. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and makes clients aware if illness affects her ability to run sessions so they can choose how to proceed.

With four years' experience and BACP registration, Jessica supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger and related life difficulties. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

How Jessica’s approaches work in online therapy

Jessica uses Transactional Analysis as her central model. This approach looks at how people communicate and relate, and helps identify repeated patterns in interactions and feelings. It can be useful for problems like relationship strain, anger, and communication difficulties.

She describes herself as an assimilative, integrative therapist who draws on ideas from other evidence-based techniques to fit each person's needs. That means a session might combine conversational exploration with practical steps you can try between meetings to manage emotions or cope with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that matches what the person wants to achieve and how they prefer to work.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins around work, or to schedule sessions at different hours when needed. Please confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
