About Jess
Dr. Jess Clapham uses a person-centred way of working to help people find their own solutions. She offers calm, respectful support for those facing stress, low self-esteem, career worries and life transitions.
Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier and clearer about next steps. She draws on client-centred principles that focus on what matters most to the individual. That means listening carefully, reflecting what is said, and helping people notice options they might not have seen.
Background and approach
She also uses existential ideas to look at life meaning, choices and personal responsibility when people feel stuck. Jess has three years of professional experience. During that time she has worked with people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief.
She also supports those needing coaching around career, motivation and leadership challenges. Her practice includes attention to family and relationship concerns, parenting stress, and attachment matters that come from early life and adoption experiences. She also helps people with anger, control issues, hoarding, and questions around life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English and Welsh and are provided to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Jess is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is listed as a credential she holds. She aims to make the first contact straightforward and respectful.

Approaches Jess lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when people feel stuck, unsure of purpose, or weighed down by major life changes. Conversations can explore values and the decisions that shape daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The counsellor will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. You and the counsellor will agree what feels most helpful as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when you want a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let you send shorter reflections or work through things between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
