About Jessica
Jessica Elson is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and anxiety. She speaks plainly and offers a calm space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions. Jessica works with individuals and couples on intimacy, communication and life changes.
She draws on several approaches to shape each session around a person’s needs. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Attachment-Based ideas look at how past bonds affect current relationships.
Background and approach
Client-Centred work keeps the session guided by the person’s priorities. Jessica has four years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation. She has supported people dealing with chronic illness, cancer and caregiver stress, and with issues such as codependency, body image and sexual intimacy.
She also addresses practical concerns like career stress, anger and navigating separation. Sessions are tailored in length and focus to what a person brings each week. Jessica aims for clear, manageable steps rather than long lists of tasks.
She helps people build better communication, set boundaries and cope with change. Many clients come wanting relief from overwhelming emotions or repeated patterns. Jessica works alongside them to notice old habits, test new ways of relating and find choices that feel more workable.
Her manner is steady, warm and non-judgemental.

How Jessica's approaches translate to online therapy
Jessica uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from unhelpful stories and create new meanings. That approach is useful for relationship patterns, low self-worth and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people repair connection and trust in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the therapist following what feels most pressing and useful.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk through different ways of working and decide together which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. The choice of approach can change over time as issues shift and new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed communication or want brief check-ins between fuller sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving or health commitments.
