About Jessica
Jessica Douglas is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who uses Transactional Analysis as a central model. She introduces herself simply and listens as a person first, so clients can tell their stories in their own words. Jessica aims to offer a calm space to explore feelings about work, relationships, grief and everyday pressures.
With four years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she blends Transactional Analysis with ideas from other models to suit each person. Sessions are shaped around what someone wants to achieve, whether that is a single focused meeting, a short block of work, or a longer-term plan.
Jessica sees the therapeutic relationship as a conversation between two people influenced by their life histories. She listens, reflects and asks questions with curiosity rather than assuming she knows the answer. If a particular approach or pace isn’t helping, she discusses alternatives or a referral.
Core hours tend to be mornings and evenings on certain weekdays, and she can consider weekend or later evening work on request. She explains that the length of therapy depends on the goals agreed in the initial planning meeting, and that flexibility is part of the process.
As a practitioner bound by the BACP Ethical Framework, Jessica will inform clients if illness affects her ability to work and will offer options to reschedule. She encourages open discussion about fit and aims to help people make choices that suit their needs.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Jessica's practice centres on Transactional Analysis, which looks at how people relate to themselves and others through recurring patterns. It helps with communication difficulties, relationship problems and understanding where old habits come from. She also uses an assimilative integrative approach, which means she blends techniques from different models to fit the person's needs. This flexibility can be useful for complex issues like trauma, mood disorders or workplace stress where a single method may not suit every situation. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options during the first meetings and agree on a plan based on the person's goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That plan can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses. For practicalities, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to have sessions between work commitments or family tasks. It can also allow shorter check-ins or flexible timing when needed. Registered and accredited professionals offering online sessions generally aim to match approach and format to what will best support day-to-day needs.Areas of expertise
