Jessica Gibbons, NCPS

Jessica Gibbons (NCPS) is a down-to-earth counsellor based in the United Kingdom who specialises in women’s mental health and a range of related concerns. With three years of professional experience, she supports people facing low mood, anxiety, depression, family and relationship challenges, bereavement, stress, and issues around self-esteem. Jessica describes her practice as integrative, drawing primarily on a person-centred approach while also using cognitive behavioural techniques when they suit a client’s goals.

She has completed additional training to work with neurodiverse clients, parents, and those who have experienced trauma, which informs the way she tailors sessions to individual needs. Jessica aims to help clients make lasting changes by combining empathic listening with practical tools - creating a safe and personal space where people can be heard and understood. Her approach is practical and collaborative, focused on helping clients build strategies that fit their lives and priorities. If someone is seeking a therapist whose primary aim is to understand them and support meaningful change, Jessica is available to discuss whether her style is the right fit.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Jessica draws on person-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to support clients in an online setting. The person-centred approach focuses on empathic listening and helping people explore their experience in their own words, which can be especially helpful for relationship, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques offer practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood.

Jessica also applies trauma-informed principles when working with people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events, paying attention to pacing and safety while helping clients build coping skills. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Jessica works collaboratively with each person to agree what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexibility for busy lives and for those who prefer remote options. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions, access care from home, and continue therapy across life transitions while working with a registered professional who adapts methods to the online setting.
