About Jessica

Jessica Orwin is a counsellor who uses person-centred and psychodynamic approaches to help people make sense of what feels overwhelming. She welcomes conversations about anger, anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship difficulties. Jessica works in a calm, approachable way so people can name what matters to them and start to find clearer ways forward.

She keeps sessions focused on the person in front of her. That means listening deeply, reflecting what is heard, and helping people notice patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of technical jargon. The aim is to help people feel understood and to discover new choices in how they respond.

Jessica also offers space to look at how early relationships shape current habits and feelings. A psychodynamic perspective helps people trace where repeated hurts or emotional reactions come from. This can be useful for issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment feelings, and patterns of avoidance that affect relationships.

She works with a broad range of concerns including grief, addictions, body image, self-esteem and coping with major life changes. Jessica holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years of professional experience in counselling.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts clients based in other countries as well as the United Kingdom. Before booking, people are invited to use the site matching process to choose a time and to check the exact session options available.

How person-centred and psychodynamic work translate online

Person-centred therapy focuses on warmth, empathy and genuine listening. Online sessions with this approach aim to create a non-judgemental space where people can bring feelings such as anger, grief or anxiety and be heard. This helps people feel clearer about what they want to change and how to move forward.

Psychodynamic work looks at repeating patterns and how past relationships shape present emotions. In online sessions this often means reflecting together on recurring reactions, attachment wounds or abandonment fears so clients can notice and try new responses in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide whether person-centred listening, psychodynamic reflection, or a mix fits best for the client's goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting appointments around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Online sessions can also make it easier to keep regular contact when living abroad. Please confirm the exact session options before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled and delivered.
