Counselling Style
When working with Jess, you can expect a gentle and supportive environment. Jess recognises the importance of everyone’s experiences and their responses to these. Every person’s story is unique and can be influential in various ways – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Jess uses counselling approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Person-centred Therapy (PCT) to sit with what the client wants to share and explore together ways to grow and heal.
