    ABOUT

    Psychotherapeutic Counsellor in Hereford

    "Hi, I'm Jess — Welcome."

    I offer integrative therapy to those who may be struggling with difficult emotions, navigating periods of change, or feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what comes next. I tailor sessions to your individual needs, drawing on different ways of working to support you in the most helpful and meaningful way.

    At the heart of therapy is the experience of feeling truly seen and heard, with warmth, empathy and without judgment. I believe that having a supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings can be deeply healing, helping you to better understand yourself, reconnect with what matters to you, and move towards a more fulfilling and authentic life.

    My Approach

    Understanding Yourself More Deeply

    You might be feeling stuck in the same patterns, where no matter what you do, things don't seem to change. Life and relationships can feel exhausting, and you may be struggling with feelings of hopelessness. You might be tired from trying to hold everything together or feel overwhelmed and anxious whenever you try to think about what's going on.

    If any of this sounds familiar, therapy can be a helpful place to start making sense of it all. Together, we can explore what's going on for you, without pressure or judgment. We'll begin to unpack the patterns that might be keeping you stuck, including those rooted in early experiences.

    The pace and direction of therapy will be guided by what feels manageable and meaningful for you. We’ll pay attention to the thoughts, feelings and bodily experiences that arise, using them as signposts toward deeper understanding. Over time, this process can help you develop new ways of relating to yourself and others, creating more space for choice, clarity and ease in your everyday life.

    TESTIMONIALS

    Client Experiences

    Jess made me feel very comfortable and at ease from the very start ... I found Jess very easy to open up to which was great as I have never spoken to anyone else about these traumas. Also I found her very in tune and empathetic ... If anyone is unsure of going for therapy I would definitely recommend going to visit Jess and giving it a good chance. From start to finish I looked forward to our weekly meets and was sad for them to end which is something I never thought I would feel before starting therapy.

    Jess was absolutely wonderful from start to finish ... She's warm and welcoming and I was comfortable with her from the start. She's helped me so much, I have and will recommend her to anyone and everyone.

    I've seen a number of counsellors over the years, and none have been able to help me like Jess has. She has a way of helping you look at things from a new point of view. Its difficult to explain but the impact has been significant. It's not been easy work but I can say I feel better than I have for a long time. Thank you Jess. I really don't know where I'd be otherwise!

    Jess has helped me immensely. It's strange not seeing her every week. It's like missing a really good friend. I'll be in touch again when I need to be. Thanks for leaving the door open Jess.

    I started seeing Jess because I was struggling with almost every area of my life and things had become completely overwhelming. Now I'm sleeping better, I don't feel so stuck and I'm more able to cope when things get stressful. I've never had therapy before but talking to Jess has helped so much. Thank you Jess.

    When I started therapy I was in a really bad way. Jess made me feel safe and comfortable to work out what was at the root of it all. I can't thank her enough.
