About Jessica
Jessica Russell is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, and issues linked to LGBT identity. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, motivation and relationship concerns.
Jessica sees people as the experts on their own lives. She focuses on what clients already do well and on practical ways to shift patterns that feel stuck. Sessions are conversational and aim to break worries into manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans.
Her work often involves sorting through feelings of guilt and shame, and helping people who feel isolated or unsure about life direction. She also addresses panic symptoms, workplace pressures and sexuality-related questions. The emphasis is on clearer thinking and doable changes, not labels or long lists of tasks.
In sessions Jessica helps people notice how communication habits and self-talk affect their relationships and confidence. She offers straightforward tools for managing intense moments, like panic attacks, and for building steadier self-regard over time. The approach is practical and paced to each person’s needs.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
Practical therapy approaches and how online sessions work
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, manageable change. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts that keep anxiety and shame active; it involves simple exercises to test those thoughts and try different behaviours. Another approach focuses on practical skills for managing panic and intense moments, teaching short grounding and breathing steps that can be used when anxiety spikes.Choosing the right approach is something she does with each person. She will discuss what feels most useful based on the concerns, goals and practical needs a person brings. Sessions are collaborative and may shift over time as progress and priorities change.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and daily life, and it can reduce travel time. Some formats are better for short check-ins while others suit deeper conversations, so selecting a format is part of planning how therapy fits into everyday routines.
