About Jessica
Jessica Harris is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship hurts, depression and the strain of life changes. She also supports people facing concerns linked to sexuality and LGBT matters, parenting pressures and struggles around intimacy.
Jessica uses straightforward conversation to help people untangle painful feelings. She often focuses on how past attachments and current patterns affect everyday life. Sessions look at thoughts and behaviours that keep people stuck, and at the feelings behind those patterns, including guilt and shame.
Her approach draws on client-centred work to keep the person’s priorities central. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify thought patterns and practical ways to test them in day-to-day situations. Psychodynamic ideas help trace repetitive themes back to earlier experiences and relationships.
In practice she aims to be respectful and attentive, adapting the dialogue to each person’s concerns. Typical topics include abandonment issues, body image, workplace stress, loneliness, and multicultural pressures. She also supports people dealing with trauma, bipolar mood challenges and questions about sexuality.
Jessica encourages a steady, practical pace. Early sessions usually clarify immediate problems and set small goals. Later work can look deeper at long-standing patterns if that feels useful.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Jessica commonly draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred work means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and experience, helping them name what matters most and decide the next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces simple experiments to test unhelpful beliefs. Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to repeated relationship patterns and early attachments that can influence how someone responds now.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. She will listen to your goals and reactions, and together you will try ways of working that fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps identify whether more practical CBT-style tools or a deeper psychodynamic focus is most helpful in the short term.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it possible to meet with a registered or accredited professional even if they are based elsewhere, which helps when looking for a therapist who understands particular issues such as multicultural concerns, sexuality or workplace stress.
