Jessica Sawyer
Supportive BACP counsellor for emotional struggle
About Jessica
Jessica Sawyer is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience and helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings.
Seeking help can feel daunting, and she offers steady support through those first steps. She works with issues around parenting, intimacy, anger and career concerns as well as depression and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, control issues, and the impact of divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and thoughts of self-harm. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational.
She listens closely, helps sort priorities and breaks problems into manageable steps. Together with the person she will set goals and practice ways to cope between meetings. Jessica has experience offering different session styles to suit the person’s needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
She accepts clients based in the United Kingdom and international clients who want to work in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then books sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.
This initial matching helps make sure practical needs and preferences are considered before starting work together.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and problem solving. One common method focuses on helping people understand and change unhelpful thought patterns and day-to-day behaviours that keep anxiety and low mood active. This approach is useful for panic attacks, stress and depression. Another common technique emphasises building safer, more reliable ways of relating to others by looking at attachment and abandonment issues and how they influence intimacy and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This happens collaboratively, with the person helping to set priorities and choose what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written communication, want brief check-ins, or need to work around a busy schedule.
