About Jessica
Jessica Sullivan is a counsellor with 20 years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She combines a thoughtful, down-to-earth style with practical steps to help clients start making change. Jessica offers care and steady support while people learn about themselves and try new ways of coping.
She originally trained as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and often explores how early experiences shape a person's current patterns. That work can be longer term and looks at underlying emotions and recurring relationship themes.
Background and approach
For more immediate concerns she uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which is forward-looking and aimed at small, achievable changes. Jessica has experience as a workplace counsellor so she knows how personal difficulties and work problems can affect each other. She can support people after workplace incidents and offers help with stress, bullying and grievance-related distress.
She also has an interest in the emotional impact of physical health conditions, including cancer and diabetes, and supports people during and after treatment or when making lifestyle changes. Her clinical work covers a wide range of issues, including trauma and abuse, bereavement, eating and self-esteem difficulties, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, anxiety and relationship concerns.
She may use screening tools such as GAD-7, PHQ-9, HADS or IES-R during an initial assessment to better understand needs. Jessica aims to be pragmatic and compassionate in sessions, helping people find practical ways forward while paying attention to deeper emotions. She welcomes conversations about goals and tailors the approach to each person's situation.

Approaches Jessica lists

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what people want to achieve next. This approach is brief and goal-orientated, useful for tackling clear problems such as work stress, decision points or managing anxiety with concrete strategies.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree what feels most useful based on needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining insight work with short-term goal setting so sessions stay relevant to immediate concerns while also addressing deeper issues.
Online therapy with Jessica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text options suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
