About Jessica
Jessica Douglas is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who works from Transactional Analysis as her core model. She introduces herself simply and aims to provide a calm space where people can tell their story in their own words. She frames therapy as a conversation between two people and keeps things straightforward and human. Jessica holds BACP as her listed credential and practices in the United Kingdom.
Jessica describes her style as assimilative and integrative, which means she uses Transactional Analysis alongside useful elements from other approaches to suit each person. She invites clients to set goals and to agree a treatment plan and contract together. Sessions can be single-session work, short-term (six to eight weeks) or longer-term (twenty or more sessions) depending on the agreed aims.
She is used to talking through a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, addiction, sleep problems and parenting strains. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, mood disorders, panic, social anxiety and workplace difficulties. Jessica also notes interests in intimacy, eating concerns and compassion fatigue.
Core working hours are typically 10am to 7pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with evening and weekend appointments available on request. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and will let clients know if she needs to pause sessions due to illness so they can choose how to proceed.
People booking are encouraged to discuss the likely length of therapy during the initial treatment planning meeting. If a match does not feel right, clients may be offered rematching to another therapist.
Practical therapeutic methods and online working
Jessica uses Transactional Analysis as her core model, a way of looking at how people relate and communicate with themselves and others. It helps with patterns of interaction, attachment issues and unhelpful self-talk by identifying roles and scripts that shape behaviour. She also works in an assimilative, integrative manner, drawing selective techniques from other evidence-based therapeutic approaches to suit the client. Those additional techniques can help with mood regulation, panic, and coping with life changes.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and practical needs during the initial planning session and together they agree a treatment plan. That plan can include single-session work, short packages or longer-term therapy depending on what is helpful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from a quieter location. Some formats can also make shorter or focused sessions more practical, while others suit deeper weekly work - Jessica will help decide which option fits day-to-day life and therapy goals.
