Jessica Orwin, BACP

Jessica Orwin offers person-centred counselling that puts the client's experience at the heart of each session. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to help people make sense of overwhelming feelings. Jess speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters to the individual in front of her.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create space for people to explore emotions, relationships and self-worth. This approach focuses on empathy and acceptance so people can find their own solutions at their own pace. She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy when looking at patterns that come from earlier relationships or past experiences.

Jess has three years of experience working with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing addictions, body image issues, eating difficulties and the strain of life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and loneliness.

Her practice covers matters often linked to family life such as blended family issues, communication problems and fatherhood concerns, as well as complex themes like trauma and abuse. She aims to help people understand recurring patterns and to build more helpful ways of relating to themselves and others.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Jess is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and tailors her approach to each person's needs.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an empathic space where people feel heard and accepted. Online, that looks like listening, reflecting and helping clients name their feelings so they can make decisions that suit them. Psychodynamic Therapy helps identify patterns that repeat from past relationships and early experiences; online sessions can be used to gently uncover those patterns and think about how they affect current life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, past experiences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try different ways of working and adjust the focus as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for people who prefer writing or need support that fits around work or travel. These formats make accessing regular support easier for people with busy lives.
