Jessica Dodd, BACP

Jessica Dodd helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She meets people where they are and offers a calm, compassionate presence to help them feel heard. Jessica works in a way that lets clients set the pace so sessions feel manageable and focused on what matters to them.

She bases her practice on person-centred principles, which means she listens closely and follows the client's lead. She also draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions around each person's needs. This blend allows practical conversations about feelings, patterns and everyday coping strategies.

Jessica has five years' experience supporting people with attachment issues, body image and codependency concerns. She has worked with people facing commitment problems, communication difficulties and control issues. Her background includes helping clients through divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.

She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, panic and post-traumatic stress, and those navigating pregnancy and childbirth related worries. Jessica offers help with life purpose questions, forgiveness work and managing workplace stress when that is a concern.

Sessions are offered in English and she practises in the United Kingdom. Jessica brings a respectful, steady approach and aims to build a therapeutic relationship that helps people reflect, process and take practical steps forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Person-centred work focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client's perspective leads the conversation. This approach helps when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to express difficult emotions. It supports self-understanding and steady progress at a comfortable pace.

Alongside that, evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address specific problems such as anxiety, panic attacks, mood difficulties and traumatic stress. These techniques involve practical exercises and clear strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. They are applied flexibly to match each person's situation and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help assess needs, discuss options and agree a plan that fits the client's goals and preferences. This collaborative process means methods can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online therapy by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging brings practical benefits. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and work more directly, while phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or need flexibility across the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
