About Jessica

Jessica Farley works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and approaches each person as an individual rather than a diagnosis. Jessica is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years' experience working across charities and private practice.

She has worked directly with people affected by rape and sexual assault and has specialist trauma-focused experience. In sessions she listens for what matters most to the person in front of her and focuses on practical ways to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Conversations can cover symptoms, triggers, and ways of managing difficult feelings.

Jessica also helps with issues connected to attachment and abandonment, body image concerns, communication problems, control issues, and relationships affected by separation or divorce. She addresses feelings such as guilt, shame, isolation, and impulsivity, and discusses how these affect behaviour and relationships.

Sessions look at coping skills for panic and mood fluctuations, and at practical steps people can try between appointments. She discusses how money worries and life purpose connect with mental health and supports people to clarify values and priorities.

Her earlier work in charities gave experience with urgent distress and supporting people after traumatic events. Jessica aims to work collaboratively to set goals that feel manageable, and to review progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and remote working

Jessica works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-focused approach. Evidence-based techniques are practical methods that help people learn ways to manage symptoms, change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. A trauma-focused approach concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and practical strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a way forward together. This is a collaborative process and the chosen methods can be reviewed as progress is made.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work or childcare and reducing travel time. Remote counselling can also allow a quicker check-in when needed or make it easier to have shorter sessions for brief issues. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they fit with day-to-day plans.
