About Jessica
Jessica Douglas is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who uses Transactional Analysis as her core model and draws on other approaches to suit each person. She aims to make space for people to tell their story in their own words. She describes herself as human first and therapist second, and listens with curiosity and reflection.
She creates a straightforward conversation focused on what is happening now and how it fits with past experience. Sessions begin with a shared plan so people know what to work towards and how progress will be reviewed. Options range from a single session to short-term blocks of six to eight weeks, or longer-term work when that fits the goal.
Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Additional focuses include anger, workplace issues, ADHD, mood disorders and feeling isolated.
Jessica follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of practice and works from the United Kingdom. Core hours are normally 10am to 7pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with evening and weekend appointments available on request. She asks clients to discuss preferred plans during the first meeting so the approach fits their needs.
She also describes an ethical commitment to pause or reschedule sessions when unwell, so people can choose whether to postpone. People are encouraged to use the initial session to agree a treatment plan and practical arrangements.
How therapeutic models shape online work
Jessica primarily uses Transactional Analysis as a way of understanding how people relate to themselves and others. This approach looks at patterns of interaction and helps identify unhelpful roles or scripts, which can be useful for relationship stress, family conflict and parenting difficulties.She also takes helpful techniques from other evidence-based therapeutic methods and adapts them to the person in front of her. That might include practical tasks, short structured plans or a one-session approach when a focused check-in is needed. These techniques help with anxiety, low mood, stress and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a plan together. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try a short course or extend work if needed.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around day-to-day life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people maintain contact during periods of change while keeping the focus on recovery and practical steps.
