About Jess

Dr. Jess Clapham works from a person-centred perspective. She focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship that helps people find their own solutions.

Her sessions aim to improve motivation, confidence and self-esteem while supporting practical life changes. She brings three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Jess has supported people facing work-related stress and career uncertainty, and she offers coaching and mentoring for executive and professional challenges.

Background and approach

Parents and carers often come to her with worries about parenting, family dynamics and communication problems. Jess also helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, anger and the impact of trauma or abuse. She will work with each person to identify manageable steps and realistic goals.

Her style is direct but warm. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people notice patterns that affect day-to-day life. She offers practical coping strategies alongside space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.

Jess speaks English and Welsh and works with people inside and outside the UK. She uses a collaborative approach to shape a plan that fits each person’s needs and circumstances. To start, she asks new clients a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions based on availability.

Online support

How client-centred and existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify their own goals. This approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, stress and everyday parenting struggles.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning and personal choice. It helps people facing big life questions, transitions or feelings of stagnation by examining values and options. That can be useful when coping with career change, grief or life-stage decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jess works collaboratively to decide which methods best suit each person’s aims and preferences. Together they review what’s helping and what to change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face work and allow visual cues during sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins possible and let people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
