About Jessica Cooke

Jessica Cooke is a BACP registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience working across healthcare settings and private practice. She trained with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, a MA in Clinical Counselling and a Diploma in CBT - this means she has an undergraduate degree in psychology, a masters-level qualification in clinical counselling and specialist training in cognitive behavioural therapy, alongside membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Jessica blends skills from multiple therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions to each person she works with. She aims to create a space where trust can grow and where people feel understood, recognising that what helps one person may not help another. Early work tends to focus on exploring what is happening and what the client hopes to change, and from there she offers ideas drawn from her training and experience.

Her practice supports people with stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem and depression, coping with life changes, grief and family difficulties, sleep and parenting issues, anger and career challenges, as well as neurodiversity and caregiver matters. Jessica acknowledges that therapy can be challenging and may bring change, and she works collaboratively to help people navigate that process with practical and emotionally informed support.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jessica commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so that people feel heard and able to explore their concerns at their own pace - it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and working to change them through practical strategies and exercises - it can be effective for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on setting clear goals and developing small, realistic steps toward them, which suits people looking for focused, short-term change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jessica works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as understanding grows and as priorities shift.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people juggling work, family or health demands. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home and fit therapy into a busy life while working with registered professionals and therapists who can tailor care to individual circumstances.
