About Jess

Dr. Jess Clapham offers a warm, person-centred style of counselling. She focuses on what matters to the client and listens carefully to each person’s priorities.

Jess brings three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She helps people facing stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Career questions and coping with life changes are a frequent focus.

She also supports those dealing with grief, anger, depression and the impact of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Jess uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. This means sessions are guided by what the client brings each week rather than a fixed agenda. She also draws on Existential Therapy to look at meaning, choice and purpose when life feels uncertain.

Her background includes executive and professional coaching and mentoring. That experience informs her practical approach to goals, motivation and building confidence. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward, with clear next steps when desired.

Sessions are offered in English and Welsh and she accepts international clients. People can use video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to meet her. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre of each session. Online, this means meetings begin where the client is and follow their priorities, whether that is managing anxiety, working through loss or improving confidence. Sessions are paced by the client and adapt week to week.

Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, choice and purpose when life feels difficult. In remote sessions this can take the form of reflective conversation and practical exercises about values, goals and decisions. It is useful for people wrestling with life changes or questions about what matters next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which method or mix of methods fits best. That collaborative process keeps the focus on the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than a predetermined plan.

Online sessions offer practical benefits such as flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus consistent.
