About Jessica
Counsellor Jessica Reed is a member of NCPS and has five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem issues, ADHD, addictions, grief, and mood difficulties including depression and bipolar. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Jessica uses a few different ways of working. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses client-centred listening to help people make sense of what matters to them. She also brings in mindfulness and somatic approaches to help with body awareness and stress management.
In a typical session she listens first, then helps people notice what they want to change. She talks through coping strategies and practical steps as well as exploring underlying patterns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and grief, using trauma-informed ways of working alongside psychodynamic ideas about recurring themes.
Her practice includes work on relationship problems, intimacy-related concerns, communication difficulties, and parenting strains. She also works with people experiencing addiction, eating and sleep problems, and compassion fatigue from caring roles. Specific additional areas include attachment issues, abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome related concerns, and dissociation.
Jessica describes her approach as collaborative. She discusses goals and adjusts the way she works to fit a person's needs. To start, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and then arrange a first session.
How Jessica’s approaches work for online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current reactions. It helps when trust, closeness or repeated patterns in relationships are a concern. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood before deciding next steps.Mindfulness work trains attention to breath and bodily sensations to reduce reactivity and stress. It can be helpful for anxiety, sleep problems and managing strong emotions. Jessica will talk with clients about which approaches to use and will adapt methods as needs and goals become clearer. Deciding on the right mix is a collaborative process between the counsellor and the client.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. One practical benefit of online sessions is that they can fit into a busy week more easily, allowing people to join from different locations. Another benefit is that some exercises, such as mindfulness practices or short somatic checks, transfer well to a remote setting and can be worked through in-session and then practiced between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors commonly use online work to keep regular contact and maintain momentum while people manage daily life.
