Jessica Gill, BACP

Jessica Gill introduces herself as a calm, encouraging presence for people feeling overwhelmed. She speaks plainly and welcomes difficult emotions with understanding. Jessica aims to help clients find clearer pathways out of anxiety, low mood, trauma and other struggles.

She works from a relational, humanistic and integrative viewpoint. Sessions focus on listening first, then helping clients notice strengths and small steps that can change daily life. Jessica believes people already have the resources to move forward and sometimes need help to see them more clearly.

In practice she uses ideas from attachment-based and psychodynamic approaches alongside client-centred ways of working. That mix is used to look at patterns, relationships and how past experiences shape present feelings. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed techniques to identify practical steps and manage distress.

Jessica has five years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addictions, and with issues such as self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

People also turn to her for help with career decisions, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties. Additional areas she mentions include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and codependency. Her approach aims to be gentle, steady and goal-focused so clients leave feeling more able to cope.

How Jessica’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns, practise new ways of relating and address separation or abandonment worries.

Client-centred therapy centres on a respectful, non-judgemental listening stance where the client leads the pace. This helps people explore feelings, build self-worth and find their own solutions in a way that feels supported.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose which ideas to use, adapting methods to their goals and comfort. That means checking in about what feels helpful and changing direction where needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they fit your routine. The main practical benefit of online work is convenience - it can be easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or other commitments. It also allows for different styles of contact, such as shorter check-ins or appointments that do not require being on camera, depending on what the therapist and client agree works best.
