About Jessica
Jessica Cooke is a counsellor who works in the United Kingdom and brings 16 years of experience to her practice. She uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to help people facing depression, anxiety, stress and relationship strain. Jess aims to create a calm space where people can say what’s on their mind and start to make sense of it.
Her style is adaptable and practical. She listens first to understand each person’s situation and then suggests ways to move forward.
Background and approach
That might mean trying small changes between sessions, looking at thought patterns, or focusing on immediate coping strategies. Jess explains options clearly so people can choose what feels right for them. She has a BACP credential, which is shown on her profile.
Over the years she has worked in both health-care settings and independent practice, and that variety informs how she plans sessions. Jess often combines client-centred listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and solution-focused steps. People come to her for many reasons including grief, parenting pressure, sleep problems, career worries, ADHD-related concerns and life changes.
She also supports those dealing with intimacy issues, compassion fatigue and feelings of emptiness. Conversations aim to be realistic, gentle and focused on practical next steps. Sessions can be held online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
For people unsure where to start, she helps clarify priorities and shape a straightforward plan to work on over time.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. Sessions include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes to see what helps with mood, sleep or anxiety. CBT is often used when people want practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then agree a plan together. This collaborative process makes it easier to try a method and adjust it if needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
