About Jessica

Jessica Farley is a UK counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years of practice across charities and the private sector. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, financial worries, mood disorders, narcissism and panic attacks.

Jessica uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Sessions are practical and conversational. She treats people as individuals rather than labels and helps them talk through what is happening now and what they want to change.

In practice she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to work with trauma, anxiety and mood concerns. She has experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and people managing the aftermath of difficult events. Her approach aims to break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps and to build small ways of coping that fit everyday life.

Jessica will listen to your story and look at the patterns that keep you stuck, including guilt and shame where these are present. She helps people make sense of painful feelings, test alternative responses, and practise new ways of managing strong emotions.

Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process. International clients are not currently accepted. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with trauma and mood concerns. One approach focuses on trauma-informed work that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life. Another approach addresses anxiety and panic by teaching practical strategies to manage physical symptoms and to reduce avoidance. Each method is described in plain language and aims to give tools for handling intense feelings and repeated patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which technique fits best, based on the person’s goals, history and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as sessions progress to better match what actually helps.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, avoid travel time and choose a quieter time for a focused check-in. Ask about current session options when scheduling so you can pick what suits your routine.
