Jessica Cooke , BACP

Jessica Cooke is a UK-based therapist with 16 years of clinical experience working in both health-care settings and private practice. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, an MA in Clinical Counselling, and a Diploma in CBT, and is affiliated with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. These qualifications reflect undergraduate study in psychology, postgraduate training in clinical counselling, and focused training in cognitive behavioral therapy, which together inform a flexible and evidence-informed approach.

Jessica believes therapy should be tailored to each person, so she works collaboratively to understand what is happening and to identify the most helpful way forward. Some people come with a clear goal, while others are still exploring what they want from therapy - both are valid starting points. She draws on a range of skills and methods and adapts sessions to fit individual needs, whether someone is coping with stress, anxiety, relationship or family concerns, grief, sleep difficulties, neurodiversity, or life transitions.

She is clear that therapy can be challenging and may involve change, but she aims to support people through that process by exploring difficulties, offering practical ideas, and helping clients build ways to manage their lives more effectively. Jessica sends her best wishes to anyone taking the step to look for support and is ready to help when the time feels right.
