Jessica Dodd
Compassionate person-centred counselling
About Jessica
Jessica Dodd supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, grief and low self-esteem. She also works with compassion fatigue and common struggles such as panic attacks and mood shifts. Jessica keeps sessions calm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters without feeling rushed.
Jessica uses a person-centred way of working, which means she focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. She adapts other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit what an individual needs rather than following one set method.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be gentle, paced to the person, and rooted in practical conversation rather than jargon. Her five years of experience include helping people with attachment issues, body image concerns, codependency and communication problems. Jessica also supports those facing divorce and separation, control issues, guilt and shame, and the aftermath of traumatic events.
She offers support around life purpose, isolation and parenting-related changes such as pregnancy and childbirth. Jessica often works on topics like forgiveness, commitment concerns and rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences. People who choose to work with Jessica can expect an empathic, grounded presence in sessions and a collaborative approach to goals.
She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in regularly to see what is or isn’t helping. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are conducted in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Jessica works from a person-centred approach, which prioritises listening and understanding the person in front of her. This method helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what matters to them, such as relationship worries, grief or low self-esteem.She also draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to tackle specific symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks and mood difficulties. These techniques focus on skills that can be practised between sessions, such as breathing strategies, grounding exercises and ways to notice and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will talk through different options and invite clients to try things that suit their goals and preferences. The focus is collaborative - goals are reviewed and methods adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when people prefer to see a counsellor. Phone sessions can be useful when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to reflect between scheduled sessions. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and adaptable to everyday schedules.
