Jessica Farley , BACP

Jessica Farley is a BACP-accredited UK counsellor with three years of experience working across both charities and the private sector. She supports people experiencing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression, drawing on focused training in trauma-informed work. Her specialist experience includes supporting survivors of rape and sexual assault, and she applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients process their experiences and rebuild a sense of safety and agency.

Jessica approaches each person as an individual rather than a diagnosis, believing that respect, sensitivity, and compassion are central to effective therapy. She recognises that everyone’s history shapes how they see the world, and she tailors her support to fit each client’s needs and circumstances. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can feel daunting, and Jessica offers steady, collaborative support to help people explore change, manage difficult emotions, and work toward clearer goals. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, reflecting her adherence to recognised professional standards.

Trauma-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Jessica brings trauma-focused approaches to her online practice, using techniques designed to help people process and recover from abusive or overwhelming experiences. These methods focus on understanding how trauma affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviour, and on building practical skills for regulation and safety.

Alongside trauma work, she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at managing stress, anxiety, grief, and low mood. These approaches help clients identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and set achievable steps toward improved well-being. Each method is explained in plain terms so clients understand the purpose and what to expect.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Jessica works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone let clients meet from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more accessible ways to communicate between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity and responsiveness from licensed professionals and therapists.
