About Jessica

Jessica Cooke is a counsellor who works from a person-focused perspective. She draws on client-centred ways of working and practical therapies to help people manage stress, sleep problems and relationship concerns. Jessica has 16 years of experience in both health-care settings and private practice and holds BACP accreditation.

Jessica keeps sessions straightforward and rooted in the issues you bring. She listens first, then helps you name the problems and decide what to try next. That might include looking at thoughts and behaviours, setting small goals, or gently working through distressing experiences.

Many people come to her worried about anxiety, low mood, parenting strain, grief, or trouble sleeping. She also supports people facing career uncertainty, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and the strain of caregiving. Jessica pays attention to how life changes, work pressures and identity concerns affect day-to-day rest and routine.

Her approach combines listening with practical steps. Sessions can cover coping strategies, problem-solving, and ways to change unhelpful thinking patterns. When trauma or intense distress is present, she uses focused methods to help people make sense of what happened and move forward at their own pace.

Jessica works in English from the United Kingdom and brings a calm, down-to-earth style. If you are unsure what you want from therapy, she aims to help you clarify goals together and find an approach that fits your life.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding your experience and building a trusting relationship. The therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to you, helping you find your own solutions and priorities.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions influence each other. It uses clear, practical steps such as experimenting with thinking patterns, adjusting routines that affect sleep, and setting small goals to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about what you want to change and try different ways of working until you find what helps. This happens together, with decisions shaped by your needs, goals and preferences.

Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking, since specific formats were not stated in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or offering a way to keep seeing a therapist when circumstances make in-person meetings harder. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods for remote work, helping you focus on sleep, stress or relationship concerns while making sessions fit your routine.
