About Jessica
Jessica Elson is a counsellor who aims to help people navigate relationship strain, loss, low self-esteem and the stress of life changes. She presents as warm and respectful and focuses on tailoring sessions to the person who turns up. Jessica holds BACP registration, which means she meets standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
In sessions she uses gentle curiosity to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and grounded. Clients can expect to talk about behaviours, patterns and small experiments to try between meetings. Her background includes work around relationship concerns and intimacy-related issues.
She also supports people coping with grief, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Jessica has experience with body image, cancer, HIV/AIDS and problems linked to guilt, shame and codependency. Therapy draws on several approaches to fit different needs, including attachment-focused ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive-behavioural techniques.
For relationship-focused work she uses tools from Imago and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address communication and connection. Sessions are adapted depending on what someone wants to do that week. Jessica places emphasis on collaboration - setting goals together and checking progress.
The work aims to make daily life feel more manageable and to open up options when stuck.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which ideas to try first. Plans are reviewed as therapy progresses so methods can be adjusted if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit into busy schedules. These options help people access consistent support without long travel and allow therapy to fit around work, caregiving and other commitments.
