Jessica Russell, BACP

Jessica Russell is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and life transitions. She works with issues related to self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Jessica also supports people navigating LGBT concerns and relationship challenges.

Jessica believes each person knows their own story and strengths. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more confident. Sessions aim to build skills for coping with panic, dealing with guilt and reducing isolation.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, reflects, and helps clients try out different ways of handling difficult moments. Work might include improving communication, exploring sexual or women’s issues, and finding a clearer sense of life purpose.

Jessica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that match what each person needs. She encourages small, doable changes that add up over time. The goal is to help people feel more able to manage workplace stress, relationships and day-to-day anxiety.

People meet Jessica to talk through immediate problems and to plan long-term improvements. She frames challenges as areas where existing strengths can be used differently. That practical focus helps clients move toward the outcomes they want.

How Jessica’s approaches guide online therapy

Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in plain, practical ways. One approach is goal-focused work that breaks larger problems into small steps to try between sessions; this helps with anxiety, panic and building confidence. Another common element is strengths-based work that identifies personal resources and uses them to tackle communication problems, guilt or isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses to ensure it keeps helping.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions more easily into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins during a workday or to continue work when relocating. Because the biography does not list supported session formats, confirm available options before booking so you know whether video, phone or another format is offered.
