About Jessica
Jessica Dodd helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those feeling compassion fatigue and people coping with mood changes or panic. Jessica writes plainly and listens with calm, steady attention so clients can talk without rush.
Jessica practises from a person-centred viewpoint and mixes in other evidence-based techniques to meet each person’s needs. She aims to create a respectful space where someone can explore feelings at their own pace.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be gentle and practical, focusing on improving day-to-day coping and understanding patterns that cause pain. Her work covers attachment issues, body image and codependency as well as communication and commitment worries. She also supports people through divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Jessica has experience with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, and other mood disorders. With five years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she draws on straightforward tools and conversation rather than jargon. Jessica aims to help people notice small changes that make life easier and more manageable.
Beginning therapy with her means pacing the work to what matters most to the client. She offers a warm, non‑judgemental presence while helping clients build clearer communication, healthier boundaries and more self‑compassion.

How Jessica works online
She also uses other evidence-based techniques alongside person-centred work to target specific problems. These practical methods aim to reduce symptoms like panic or intense worry and to improve everyday coping and communication skills.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques and adjust the way they work together based on how things progress.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. It can also allow a shorter check-in on a busy day or let someone choose whether to use video or a different format if that helps them take part more comfortably.
