Jessica Dodd

Jessica Dodd is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and low self-esteem. She also works with compassion fatigue and issues around attachment and body image. Jessica aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and respected as they talk through what matters to them.

Her style is collaborative and paced to the individual. Jessica uses a person-centred way of working as the foundation of sessions and also draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to personalise the work. She brings a grounded, compassionate presence and helps people name feelings and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Clients often come to address workplace stress, panic symptoms, trouble with commitment or codependency, and the fallout from separation or divorce. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. Pregnancy, childbirth and post-traumatic stress are additional areas she has experience with.

Jessica has five years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, which she holds as a credential. Her approach aims to help people build clearer communication, steadier mood management and healthier boundaries over time.

She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If someone is ready to start, Jessica asks that they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Jessica bases her work on person-centred principles, which focus on listening closely and following the person’s own pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to process grief, anxiety or questions about relationships without feeling directed or rushed.

She also draws from other evidence-based techniques to address specific problems such as panic symptoms, low self-esteem or communication difficulties. These methods often involve practical exercises, noticing patterns in thoughts and feelings, and trying small changes between sessions to see what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods to fit those aims rather than imposing a fixed model.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from wherever they are based in the UK and help maintain continuity when schedules change.
