About Jessica
Jessica Elson is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship issues, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and changes in life. She works in a straightforward, compassionate way and aims to make sessions feel practical and manageable. Her approach is tailored to each person, with a focus on what they want to change.
With four years of experience and registration with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), she draws on a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. This allows sessions to adapt to problems like communication difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, stress, depression, and anger. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, or life events such as separation and bereavement.
In sessions Jessica uses ideas from attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people name and work with strong feelings. Imago-informed tools are used when relationship repair and improving connection are priorities.
Jessica describes her work as collaborative and non-judgemental. She focuses on setting clear goals and practical steps alongside exploring emotions and past influences. Sessions aim to balance talking, reflection, and skill-building so people leave with something they can use between meetings.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then book according to availability. Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current struggles. It helps people understand why they react a certain way and build new ways of relating. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce distress.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will blend methods together where helpful. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. They can also support working with emotions and communication tools between meetings so practical changes can be tried in everyday life.
