About Jess
Dr. Jess Clapham offers a warm, down-to-earth approach to talking about difficult feelings. She is a counsellor with three years of professional experience and works with people facing depression, low self-esteem, career crossroads and major life changes.
Jess aims to make the first step feel less daunting and to help people find practical ways forward. Her practice often centres on listening closely and following the person's priorities. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual - mood, motivation, relationships, work or parenting pressures.
Background and approach
She brings a calm, respectful manner and adapts conversations to each person's pace. Jess uses client-centred methods that put the person’s perspective at the heart of the work. She also draws on existential ideas about meaning, choice and responsibility to help people think about values and purpose.
Together these approaches aim to clarify what someone wants to change and why it matters. Concrete tools and coaching-style conversations are used when helpful, especially for career decisions or building confidence. She supports people who are coping with grief, trauma, anger and life transitions, and those managing ADHD-related challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and Welsh and can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Jess accepts international clients and works with each person to set goals and a practical way forward.

Approaches Jess lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Existential Therapy invites people to reflect on meaning, values and choice in their lives. It can be useful for those facing life transitions, career crossroads, feelings of emptiness or questions about purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jess will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit their goals and preferences. She often blends listening-led conversations with coaching-style actions when people want practical steps for confidence or career change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat can offer quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or reflective writing between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and differing schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical next steps.
