About Jessica
Jessica Russell is a counsellor with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety and workplace concerns. She also supports those facing challenges around self-esteem, motivation and LGBT matters.
Jessica approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, alongside talking through feelings and choices.
Her work often centres on coping with life changes and improving day-to-day wellbeing. People come to her for help with panic attacks, feelings of isolation and relationship difficulties. She also supports those wrestling with guilt, shame and questions about sexuality.
Jessica pays attention to how workplace pressures affect mental health. She helps people explore work-related stress, communication problems and finding clearer priorities at work. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and find realistic ways to manage demands.
Clients can expect straightforward language and a calm, encouraging tone. Jessica emphasises small, achievable goals and practical tools as part of ongoing change.

Approaches that guide online work and wellbeing
Many therapists combine evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. Cognitive approaches look at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour, offering practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and develop calmer responses. Behavioural strategies focus on small changes in daily routines and activity levels to reduce panic and improve mood. Acceptance-based and strengths-focused methods encourage people to notice emotions without judgement and to use existing strengths to move forward. These approaches can be useful for life changes, self-esteem work and issues linked to sexuality or identity. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem to match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This collaborative process helps make sure the techniques fit the person’s needs and preferences. For practicalities, please confirm session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter timings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.Areas of expertise
