Jessica Dodd, BACP

Jessica Dodd is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, who struggle with relationships, or who are carrying grief and low self-esteem. Jessica also supports those facing compassion fatigue and people noticing patterns like codependency or attachment difficulties.

Her way of working is collaborative and person-centred. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and move at a pace that feels manageable. She listens for recurring patterns in relationships and daily life, then helps clients name them and consider different responses.

Jessica draws on person-centred practice alongside other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In a session she often helps people talk through difficult feelings, identify sources of stress, and practise clearer communication. Work can involve looking at how early relationships shape current responses and building small, practical steps to change patterns.

She is used to supporting people through specific life events such as separation, pregnancy and childbirth, and bereavement. Therapy also covers issues like body image, guilt and shame, isolation, panic, and post-traumatic stress, depending on what the client brings.

Therapy sessions are intended to help people notice what repeats in their relationships and daily choices. The aim is to increase awareness and to try different ways of responding, rather than promising a quick fix. Clients are encouraged to take practical steps between sessions when that feels helpful.
