Jessica Harris

Jessica Harris is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low self-esteem. She works with those dealing with relationship strain, depression, career pressures and the fallout of life changes. She also supports people facing issues linked to sexuality, identity and experiences of discrimination. Jessica holds BACP registration and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs, keeping things straightforward and respectful. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now and make small, manageable changes.

Jessica draws on client-centred therapy to build trust and encourage reflection. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. She also brings psychodynamic thinking to discussions about patterns that repeat across relationships and over time.

Common topics she addresses include coping with abandonment and attachment worries, body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, loneliness, narcissism-related concerns and issues that affect young adults. She also helps people navigate intimacy-related problems and parenting stress.

Jessica aims to collaborate with each person on realistic steps and achievable goals. She meets people where they are and adjusts the pace to what feels manageable. Her style is open, empathetic and practical.

How Jessica uses different approaches in online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. The counsellor listens actively and helps people explore what matters to them. This approach is useful when someone needs space to make sense of difficult feelings and to decide their own next steps.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new actions. This can help with anxiety, low mood and patterns that cause daily stress.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to long-standing patterns and past experiences that affect current relationships. It can be helpful for people who notice repeating difficulties, such as attachment or abandonment worries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work and family life and removing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or to meet when travel would be difficult.
