About Jessica
Jessica Harris is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship concerns and coping with life changes.
Her work is straightforward and practical. She listens to what is causing strain and points out patterns in thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. Conversations often look at everyday situations, the thoughts that come up, and what happens next. She also pays attention to past experiences when those patterns affect current relationships and feelings.
Jessica has experience supporting people with LGBT issues, parenting stress, workplace pressures, and concerns around intimacy and attachment. She also works with people facing trauma or abuse, bipolar mood concerns, body image and identity matters. Her extra focus areas include abandonment, shame and multicultural concerns.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She helps people choose techniques that fit their life and checks in about how those tools feel. New clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire before the first session so sessions can start with clear priorities.
How Jessica uses CBT, client-centred and psychodynamic work online
Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought and behaviour that make problems stick. CBT offers concrete exercises and steps to try in daily life, which can help with anxiety, low mood and social worries.She also uses client-centred methods that focus on careful listening and building a practical working relationship. Psychodynamic ideas are brought in to look at how past experiences may shape current reactions and relationships. Together these approaches help address both immediate problems and longer-standing patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and agree on a plan with each person. That makes it easier to try techniques and adjust them if they do not fit.
