About Jessica
Counsellor Jessica Farley is a BACP member with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Jessica practises in the United Kingdom and sees people in English.
She focuses on helping people manage strong feelings and difficult events. Sessions are practical and conversational. Jessica aims to treat each person as an individual rather than a label. She has worked in charities and private practice settings over the past three years.
Her work often involves talking through reactions to trauma and abuse, and supporting people after sexual assault. She also helps with panic symptoms, mood problems and the practical strains that follow separation, money worries or big life changes. Jessica pays attention to how attachment and past loss can influence present relationships and self‑view.
Sessions include discussion of how patterns develop, learning ways to reduce overwhelming anxiety, and looking at coping strategies for grief and depression. She may use evidence-based techniques suited to a client's needs and pace. The approach is collaborative and aims to build manageable steps for everyday life.
Jessica asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before a first meeting. The service uses a cancellable subscription for sessions which varies by location. International clients are not currently accepted.
Approaches used and how online counselling works
Jessica describes her practice as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach is trauma-focused work which looks at how past harmful events affect current feelings and behaviour and helps people develop ways to manage intense reactions. Another is structured anxiety work that teaches specific strategies for reducing panic and ongoing worry, such as breathing skills and stepwise exposure to feared situations.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with a client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote counselling helpful because it can fit around work, childcare and daily life, and because it lets them arrange shorter check-ins or quieter sessions when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer practical support remotely using whatever format the therapist currently provides.
