About Jess
Dr Jess Clapham is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and major life changes. Jess also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and relationship challenges.
Jess uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person’s concerns at the heart of sessions. She is also informed by existential therapy, which helps people reflect on life choices, meaning and direction. In practice this means talking through what matters to the client and trying out practical steps between meetings.
Her work often covers motivation and confidence-building, career difficulties and executive coaching or mentoring for professionals. She also takes on issues related to parenting, family of origin, ADHD, anger and depression, and longer-standing concerns such as abandonment, attachment and forgiveness.
Sessions are conversational and focused on the client’s priorities. Jess aims to develop clear, realistic goals and to check progress regularly. People who want practical strategies as well as space to think through decisions may find this approach useful.
She offers counselling in English and Welsh and accepts international enquiries. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial session.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and following what they say. The counsellor reflects back what matters to the client, helps clarify priorities and supports small, practical changes. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, stress and relationship concerns. Existential Therapy looks at life questions and choices. It invites people to consider meaning, responsibility and what matters next. This can be helpful for career decisions, coping with major life changes and finding direction after a loss. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jess will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan with the client based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as things change. The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work and travel. It can also help when someone prefers a shorter check-in, wants to avoid travel time, or needs a session that fits into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to suit the pace and focus each person needs.Areas of expertise
