About Jessica Cooke
Jessica's academic training includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology - an undergraduate degree in psychological science - an MA in Clinical Counselling which provides postgraduate training in therapeutic work, and a Diploma in CBT which denotes focused training in cognitive behavioral techniques. She also holds the BACP credential, indicating affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.
Her work is adaptable rather than one-size-fits-all; she collaborates with clients to understand their concerns and then suggests ways to address them, drawing on a range of therapeutic skills. It is common for the shape of sessions to vary from person to person depending on goals, and she accepts that some people come to therapy without a clear idea of what they want to work on.
Jessica is open about the reality that therapy can be challenging and may involve change, but she frames that process as the route to meaningful shifts when the current situation is not serving someone well. Her aim is to explore difficulties alongside each client and offer informed options for moving forward, while supporting them through the process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Jessica draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy to tailor support to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the client feels heard and can explore their own solutions; it is helpful for building self-understanding and addressing relationship or self-esteem concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on setting practical, short-term goals and identifying existing strengths to generate forward momentum, which many people find useful when coping with life changes or specific problems.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and Jessica treats it as a collaborative process. She will help clients consider which methods best align with their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting the approach as understanding develops.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - allowing therapy to fit around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location, while supporting continuity of care and regular contact when that is helpful for progress.
