About Jessica
Jessica Cooke is a BACP-registered counsellor with 16 years' experience working in healthcare settings and private practice across the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, depression and life changes, and supports issues commonly faced by young adults such as career uncertainty and identity questions. She also addresses a wide range of other concerns including grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Jessica uses a blend of therapeutic approaches to suit each person’s needs. She explains that therapy can look different from one person to another and that finding the right way to work begins by talking through the immediate problem. Sessions may focus on understanding patterns, testing small changes, or developing practical coping strategies depending on what emerges.
She invites people who are unsure what they want from therapy to start with that uncertainty. Early conversations are used to clarify goals and decide on practical steps. Jessica notes that therapy can be challenging and may involve change, but she treats that as part of the process for people who find the status quo isn’t helping.
Clients can expect straightforward, conversational sessions aimed at understanding what is happening and exploring options. Jessica draws on cognitive and solution-focused ideas alongside client-centred listening to help people consider different ways forward. Her background includes working with diverse issues such as bipolar, parenting stresses, and isolation.
Her practical approach emphasises collaboration. She will offer suggestions based on what comes up in sessions and adapt methods as needs evolve. For young adults navigating study, first jobs, relationships and life transitions, she aims to help clarify priorities and build manageable steps forward.
How Jessica's approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows what matters most to the client and uses questions and reflection to help make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can help when someone is unsure what to work on or needs space to talk things out.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Sessions often include identifying patterns and trying practical experiments or small changes to test new ways of coping. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. Early sessions are used to understand the problem and agree on practical steps, and the approach can change as progress is made.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or travel and can reduce time spent travelling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick review is helpful, or audio-only contact when video is less convenient. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to suit everyday schedules and preferences.
