Jessica Douglas , BACP

Jessica Douglas is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor who blends structured theory with a human, person-first approach to help people navigate life’s challenges. With four years of clinical experience and a BACP credential - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she uses Transactional Analysis as her core model while drawing selectively from other psychotherapy methods to tailor treatment plans to each individual. Her practice is informed by an assimilative style, which means she adapts techniques to match a client’s needs rather than relying on a single rigid method.

Jessica aims to create a supportive space where clients can tell their story in their own words and process what is happening for them. She frames the therapeutic relationship as a conversation between two people shaped by their lived experience, offering listening, reflection, and curiosity rather than presumption. She is comfortable offering a single-session option, short-term work of around six to eight weeks, or longer-term psychotherapy of twenty or more sessions depending on the client’s goals and the agreed treatment plan.

Her usual core hours are 10am to 7pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, with evening and weekend appointments available on request. Jessica is not currently accepting clients. She does not work with international clients and provides therapy in English from the United Kingdom.

Transactional Analysis and Integrative Work for Online Support

Jessica Douglas centers her work on Transactional Analysis, a model that helps people understand patterns in their communication and relationships by exploring the ways they relate to themselves and others. This approach can be useful for stress, relationship issues, attachment concerns, and repetitive interaction patterns.

She also practices an assimilative, integrative approach, combining techniques from different evidence-based therapeutic methods to suit each person’s needs. This flexibility allows sessions to focus on coping skills, mood management, grief work, or trauma-informed pacing depending on the presenting issue.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica works collaboratively with clients - discussing goals, preferences, and progress - to identify which techniques fit best and to adjust the plan as work unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or elsewhere, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
