Jessica Gibbons, NCPS

Jessica Gibbons offers down-to-earth counselling for people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or grief. She introduces herself simply as Jess and aims to make therapy practical and approachable. Sessions focus on helping clients make changes that last and on creating space to be heard.

Jess uses a person-centred way of working, which means she listens openly and follows what matters most to each client. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy skills when they are helpful and wanted by the person in therapy. This flexible mix lets sessions be gentle or more action-focused depending on need.

Her practice has included supporting people through bereavement, family difficulties, low mood, anxiety and stress. She has undertaken training in working with people who are neurodiverse, with parents and with those who have experienced trauma. These areas inform how she shapes sessions and the tools she offers.

Clients can expect short-term practical techniques alongside time to talk through feelings and experiences. Jess aims to help people find everyday ways to cope better and to notice slow, sustainable change. She keeps language simple and avoids jargon so conversations are easy to follow.

Working in the United Kingdom, she communicates in English and brings three years of counselling experience to her practice. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Jessica primarily uses a person-centred approach, which focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions through reflective conversation. This method is useful for emotional issues like low mood, grief and relationship worries because it gives space to be understood.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy skills when appropriate. These are practical techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and can be useful for anxiety, stress and problems with confidence.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and decisions about methods are made together.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the chance to maintain continuity when routine changes. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that helps people stay consistent with appointments and keep progress moving forward.
