Jessica DoddBACP

Jessica Dodd offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self esteem and compassion fatigue. She welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or who simply need a calm space to reflect. Jessica presents a steady, empathetic presence and aims to help clients feel heard and understood from the first session.

Jessica works in a person-centred way as the foundation of her practice. That means she listens without judgement and follows each person's pace and priorities. She also draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques when helpful to address specific symptoms or patterns.

In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and gentle reflection. She talks through feelings, patterns in relationships, and ways to manage stress and panic as they come up. She pays attention to experiences from the past that still affect daily life, including attachment wounds and grief.

Jessica has five years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is noted as BACP. Her background includes supporting people through workplace stress, relationship breakdown, low self esteem and perinatal concerns such as pregnancy and childbirth related issues.

Therapy with Jessica is collaborative. She works with clients to set goals and decide the pace of work. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step feel manageable and respectful of each person's needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online support

Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following your priorities. Online sessions using this approach still centre on letting you set the pace, naming what matters and using reflective conversation to help you feel understood and clearer about next steps.

Many clinicians also draw on practical, evidence-informed techniques to manage symptoms. For example, grounding and breathing strategies can help reduce panic and anxiety in the moment, while structured problem-solving helps with workplace stress and relationship communication. These approaches aim to give simple, repeatable tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with you to decide which ways of working feel most helpful, and will adapt techniques to suit your needs and goals. You are involved in choosing the focus and the pace of work.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are provided, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quieter check-ins or shorter conversations when needed. It can also let you continue work across life transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth without needing to rearrange many appointments.
