Jessica Douglas, BACP

Jessica Douglas is an assimilative, integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor who treats presenting difficulties through a psychological lens and a person-centred approach. She places the human connection at the centre of her work, creating space for people to tell their story in their own words while exploring and processing what is happening for them. Her core framework is Transactional Analysis - a model that focuses on patterns of interaction and communication - and she adapts techniques from other therapeutic approaches to tailor a treatment plan and therapeutic contract to each person.

Jessica understands the therapeutic relationship as a conversation between two individuals, shaped by their lived experiences. She does not claim to have walked the same path as every client, but she listens with curiosity and reflective attention to help uncover meaning and promote insight. She offers flexible options in scope and duration, including a single-session approach, short-term work of around six to eight weeks, or longer-term therapy extending to twenty or more sessions, depending on the goals agreed during treatment planning.

Her regular availability is usually 10am to 7pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with evening and weekend appointments offered on request. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she follows professional ethical expectations; in line with the BACP Ethical Framework, she monitors her own wellbeing and will inform clients if illness affects her ability to work so they can choose to reschedule or postpone sessions. Jessica is based in the United Kingdom and is not currently accepting new clients or working with international clients.
