Psychologists and Psychotherapists

Jess is a UK and Australia registered Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience across government services, private inpatient hospitals, private practice, social services, community outreach teams, and outpatient services.

She has worked with clients across the lifespan and from diverse cultural, socio-economic, and neurodivergent backgrounds. Jess’s background includes roles in inpatient services, forensic settings, community teams, and private practice in both the UK and Australia.

Jess has also held senior clinical positions, including serving as Clinical Lead at a Tier 4 specialised inpatient hospital in London, where she oversaw care for adults and adolescents with complex presentations. She has supervised assistant and early-career psychologists and is committed to supporting the development of emerging clinicians.

Her therapeutic style is warm, relational, and collaborative. Jess believes strongly in empowering each person’s individuality, strengths, and lived experience while creating a safe and meaningful space for growth.

Approach in Private Practice

In her private practice, Jess supports clients with a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and wellbeing presentations. She takes a warm, grounded, and relational approach, aiming to truly understand each person’s lived experience and what matters most to them. Jess does not use a one size fits all approach; instead, she adapts therapy to each client’s individual needs, strengths, and goals.

Jess frequently works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, low mood, perfectionism, burnout, OCD, phobias, adjustment challenges, and difficulties with emotional regulation. She also supports clients navigating women's wellbeing concerns, including perimenopause, menopause, chronic pain, and gut–brain related distress.

Her work is collaborative, compassionate, and centred on creating a safe space where clients feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Neurodivergent Support

Jess is passionate about working within a neuroaffirming framework and aims to ensure neurodivergent clients feel respected, understood, and empowered throughout therapy.

She supports individuals by:

• Exploring neurotype and identity in validating, strengths-based ways
• Empowering Autistic and ADHD strengths such as creativity, deep focus, problem-solving ability, emotional insight, and unique communication styles
• Providing strategies for sensory needs, executive functioning, energy regulation, and emotional wellbeing
• Supporting clients to navigate environments that may not be designed with neurodivergent needs in mind
• Promoting self-compassion, self-advocacy, and confidence
• Actively challenging stigma and deficit-based assumptions

Jess works with Autistic clients, ADHD clients, and those exploring or questioning their neurodivergent identity.

Couples Therapy

Jess works with couples who would like to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, understand each other more deeply, or navigate challenges together.

Her work includes support for:

• Couples seeking general relationship support
• Neurodivergent couples
• Mixed-neurotype couples, where partners may have different ways of processing, communicating, or experiencing the world

Jess supports couples to:

• Communicate with clarity and emotional safety
• Understand each other’s needs and differences
• Navigate conflict without escalation or withdrawal
• Strengthen trust and intimacy
• Explore sensory, emotional, or communication differences that influence the relationship
• Navigate parenting, routines, or major life transitions

Her approach draws on Emotion-Focused, relational, and practical strategies to help couples build healthier patterns, deepen connection, and foster long-term relational wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approach

Jess integrates several evidence-based approaches, including:

• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
• Schema Therapy (ST)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, including mindfulness and distress tolerance

She does not use a one size fits all approach. Jess tailors therapy to each client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals, ensuring that the therapeutic process aligns with who they are and how they best engage.

She prioritises emotional safety, trust, and genuine connection. Her work is neuro-affirming, LGBTQIA+-affirming, and culturally responsive.

Commitment to Growth

Jess is committed to ongoing professional development and regularly engages in training, supervision, and reflective practice to ensure her work remains ethical, inclusive, and aligned with best practice.
