Dr. Jess ClaphamBACP

Dr. Jess Clapham uses a people-focused, conversational approach to counselling. She aims to make work feel practical and approachable. Jess welcomes questions and helps people take small steps towards clearer thinking and more confidence.

Jess has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP. She draws on coaching skills to support career questions and motivation, and she helps people facing big life changes find steady ways forward. Her style is respectful and warm, with an emphasis on what a person wants to change and why.

Common concerns Jess works with include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also offers support with parenting stresses, grief, anger, and issues linked to trauma and abuse. Additional interests include ADHD, relationship difficulties and questions about life purpose.

In sessions Jess uses Client-Centred Therapy to build understanding, and existential ideas to help people consider meaning and choice. Conversations are shaped around the person’s priorities, with practical strategies added where useful. Jess adapts pace and focus so each person can move at a comfortable speed.

People who choose Jess often want straightforward help with decisions, clearer ways to manage feelings, or coaching around work and transitions. She encourages small, doable changes and helps people recognise progress as it happens.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. In practice this means sessions aim to give space for feelings and thoughts, and to help people find their own solutions. It can be helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It encourages people to consider values and purpose, which can help when someone faces major life changes or doubts about direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jess will talk through what matters to the person and suggest ways of working that match their goals and preferences. Decisions about pace, focus and techniques are made together so the plan fits the person’s needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when mornings or evenings are tight. It can also let conversations continue across different life stages while keeping a steady appointment routine.
