About Jessica
Jessica Douglas offers a conversational, person-centred approach built around Transactional Analysis. She introduces herself plainly and invites people to tell their story in their own words. The focus is on understanding what is happening now and working together to decide a way forward.
She describes herself as an assimilative, integrative therapist who uses Transactional Analysis as a core model and adapts techniques from other approaches to meet individual needs. Sessions are shaped around a mutually agreed treatment plan and contract, so the length and structure of therapy are negotiated rather than fixed.
Background and approach
Jessica emphasises the therapeutic relationship as two people relating through their lived experience. She listens with curiosity and reflects back what she hears to help people notice patterns and make different choices. She is open about not sharing every client history but aims to provide space for honest exploration.
Her practical options include single-session work, short-term programmes of six to eight weeks, or longer-term psychotherapy of twenty or more sessions. The number of sessions and goals are agreed during the initial meeting and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Core working hours are usually 10am to 7pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with evening and weekend appointments available on request. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, ethical framework and will inform clients if illness affects her ability to offer sessions so they can choose how to proceed.

How Jessica works online
She also works in an assimilative, integrative way, drawing short techniques from other therapies to suit the person in front of her. This flexible approach helps when difficulties are varied, for example with mood issues, anxiety, or life changes, because methods are matched to the problem rather than forced to fit.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help you decide what feels most useful. That collaborative process means plans can change as understanding deepens and needs evolve.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally adapt exercises, worksheets and reflective tasks so they work well in a remote setting.
