Jessica Harris
Practical, compassionate support for everyday struggles
About Jessica
Jessica Harris welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low in mood, or unsure how to move forward. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps easier for someone worried about starting therapy. She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Jessica focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also pays attention to relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBT issues, parenting strains and workplace pressures. In sessions she listens actively and adapts to what each person needs. Conversations are shaped around the client's priorities, with practical ideas from cognitive behavioural approaches when helpful.
There is also space to look at patterns from past relationships and life events using psychodynamic thinking. Jessica aims to keep sessions grounded and practical. Together clients can set small goals, try out new ways of thinking, and work on improving day-to-day coping.
She recognises feelings like shame, isolation or overwhelm and helps people name and manage them. People who want a direct, compassionate counsellor may find her approach useful. She accepts international clients and offers video, phone, chat and text sessions to fit different routines.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is required to set up the first appointment.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and build confidence to explore difficult feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It offers practical exercises and small experiments that can reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful patterns.
Psychodynamic Therapy examines how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current feelings. This approach can help uncover recurring difficulties and offer new ways to respond to old hurts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and together decide which ideas to use. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the person in their everyday life.
Online therapy by video, phone, live chat or text makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and chat or text can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options increase flexibility, reduce travel time and let clients choose what feels most comfortable for them.
