About Jessica
Jessica Sullivan, BACP, is a counsellor with 20 years of practice who helps people facing relationship strain, loss, anxiety and life changes. She describes a pragmatic style that focuses on building on people’s strengths and helping them make practical changes. Jessica offers a calm, measured presence to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.
She originally trained as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and draws on that background to look at how past patterns shape current problems. That work can be helpful for issues rooted in early attachment, longstanding relationship patterns, and reactions that trace back to childhood. Jessica also uses Solution-Focused Therapy for shorter-term work that aims to identify small, achievable steps forward.
Her experience includes workplace counselling and supporting people after traumatic incidents at work. She also supports people dealing with the emotional impact of long-term conditions such as diabetes and those coping with cancer during and after treatment. She can talk through concerns about stress, burnout and compassion fatigue.
Jessica may use tools such as the GAD-7, PHQ-9, HADS or IES-R during an initial assessment to clarify current needs. She works with a wide range of difficulties including self-harm, suicidal ideation, eating and food-related issues, depression, bipolar, attachment-related problems and domestic violence.
Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom.

How Jessica’s approaches translate to online counselling
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early life experiences influence current feelings and patterns. Online work can be used to notice those patterns, name recurring themes, and plan slower, reflective change that fits everyday life.Solution-Focused Therapy is forward looking and concentrates on small, realistic steps. In an online context it can help people set short-term goals and track practical changes between sessions, which suits people who want focused, goal-driven work.
Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. Jessica will work collaboratively to decide whether deeper psychodynamic work or a briefer solution-focused plan is better for the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That conversation happens together and can be revisited as therapy progresses.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow quicker check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing therapy when life events make attending in person difficult, while keeping the focus on practical, manageable steps.
