About Jessica
Jessica Dodd is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and panic symptoms. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, low self esteem and compassion fatigue. Her style is calm and compassionate, and she aims to create a space where people feel heard and respected.
Jessica uses a person-centred approach as the foundation of her work. She listens carefully and follows each person’s pace, building a trusting working relationship before moving on to practical steps. She draws on other evidence-based techniques to tailor sessions to what each person needs.
In sessions she helps people talk through emotions, spot unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that make daily life easier. She has experience supporting workplace stress, attachment issues, body image concerns and recovery after relationship breakdown. Panic disorder and panic attacks are among the issues she works with alongside mood difficulties and post-traumatic stress.
Her way of working emphasises collaboration. She invites clients to set goals and reviews progress together, adjusting the approach if something is not helping. The tone is straightforward and gentle, with practical tools introduced when appropriate.
Jessica has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and carries out sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments according to availability.
How evidence-based approaches can work online
Jessica bases her work on person-centred practice and combines that with evidence-based techniques to meet individual needs. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and creating a non-judgemental space, which helps people feel understood and more able to open up. Cognitive and behavioural techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms; these approaches suit people who want practical steps to manage symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore your goals and preferences, and together you will try methods that feel like a good fit. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan is adjusted when needed so the work stays relevant to your situation.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and less travel, which can make sessions fit into a workday or caregiving routine. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
