Jessica Dodd, BACP

Jessica Dodd helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, panic symptoms and mood changes. Her approach is calm and empathic, aimed at helping people feel heard and less overwhelmed.

Jessica works in a person-centred way, which means she follows each person’s pace and priorities. She blends this with other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions around what is most useful. Sessions are conversational and practical, with space to reflect and to try new ways of coping.

Her experience includes supporting people with attachment concerns, communication problems and difficulties around commitment and codependency. She also offers help for issues such as body image, forgiveness, guilt and isolation. She has seen people through divorce, pregnancy and childbirth related stresses, and post-traumatic symptoms.

Jessica has five years of practice and holds BACP registration, which is recorded as BACP. She offers a grounded, compassionate presence and aims to make sessions feel respectful and steady. She emphasises collaboration and small, achievable steps rather than quick fixes.

Taking the first step can feel hard, so she works at a pace that suits the person. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and on building practical ways to manage difficult feelings and situations.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Jessica draws mainly on person-centred work, which focuses on listening, respect and following the person’s lead. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and to decide what matters most to them.

She also combines other evidence-based techniques to give practical tools for coping. Those methods aim to reduce anxious and overwhelming symptoms, improve communication and support emotional regulation during stressful periods.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will meet the person where they are and discuss options together. Together they will try methods that fit the individual’s goals and tweak the approach as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone better, or sessions that focus on practical skills and reflection without needing to travel.
