About Jessica
Jessica Orwin is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people who are feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed or stuck after loss or big life changes. She also supports those facing relationship strain, difficulties with self-esteem, and struggles around addiction and eating concerns.
Jessica works from a person-centred perspective. Sessions focus on listening and helping people find their own understanding of what is happening. She aims to create a straightforward setting where clients can talk through feelings about attachment, abandonment, jealousy and emptiness without jargon.
Her background includes helping people manage grief, depression and the fallout of trauma and abuse. In conversation she draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns in relationships. This can help people who repeatedly put others first or who feel caught in avoidant or dependent ways of relating.
Practical issues such as communication problems, blended family dynamics, fatherhood concerns and living with a loved one's drinking are also addressed. Jessica is used to working with LGBT clients and with those processing serious illness such as cancer.
Sessions are in English and she welcomes people from the UK and beyond. To begin, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire so sessions can be matched to immediate needs and longer term goals.
How sessions work
How Jessica uses person-centred and psychodynamic ideas online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own perspective. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what comes up so the person can make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach helps when someone is struggling to say no, losing themselves in relationships, or feeling unsure about who they are.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past relationships shape present behaviour. It can be useful for people who recognise repeating relationship problems, attachment worries or abandonment fears and want to understand their roots.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try ways of working and adjust the focus as understanding develops.
Confirm the current session options before booking. Many people like online sessions because they can fit them around work, caring responsibilities and travel. Online sessions can make it easier to have a shorter check-in on a busy day, avoid travel time, or choose not to use a camera if that helps someone speak more freely. Registered or accredited professionals can support this practical flexibility while keeping the therapeutic aims clear.
