About Jessica
Jessica Gibbons is a counsellor who focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief and self-esteem. She presents in a calm, down-to-earth way and aims to help clients find changes that last. Sessions are intended to be a place to talk and be heard.
She uses an integrative style that centres the person in the work. That means conversations begin by listening closely to what matters to the client.
Background and approach
From there she can introduce practical skills drawn from cognitive behavioural techniques when they suit the person and situation. Jessica has three years of experience working with adult clients on common mental health concerns. Her background includes supporting people through bereavement, family tensions, low mood and anxiety, and helping those managing long-term health or caregiving stresses.
She also works with people who identify as neurodiverse and with those who have lived through trauma. Jessica aims to adapt sessions to the person rather than follow a single method for everyone. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge when needed, and practical tools to try between sessions.
She holds the NCPS credential and practices in the United Kingdom. Sessions are delivered in English and are available in several online formats.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Jessica uses an integrative, person-centred foundation and can bring in evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioural strategies and person-centred talking methods. Cognitive behavioural strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood, which can be helpful for stress, phobias and worry. The person-centred approach prioritises listening and the client's own pace, helping people feel understood before practical work begins.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how they respond to different ideas. Together they agree which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is seen.
Online sessions can be more flexible than in-person work. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins or when typing feels easier, and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs and make it easier to keep continuity of care with a registered or accredited professional.
