Jessica Gibbons, NCPS

Jessica Gibbons, NCPS, is a compassionate counsellor in the United Kingdom who specialises in women’s mental health and everyday challenges such as low mood, anxiety, depression, family difficulties, bereavement and stress. She works in a practical, down-to-earth way to help clients identify patterns, develop coping strategies and make changes that last.

As an integrative counsellor, Jessica blends a person-centred stance with cognitive behavioural techniques when appropriate. The person-centred approach focuses on understanding each individual’s experience and creating an accepting therapeutic relationship, while CBT tools can help with practical skills for managing thoughts and behaviour. Jessica has also completed specialist training for working with neurodiverse clients, parents and people who have experienced trauma.

Jessica aims to offer a space where people can speak openly, feel heard and explore what matters most to them. Her NCPS credential denotes a professional counselling qualification and membership of a recognised counselling framework. Those seeking a therapist who prioritises understanding and practical support are invited to get in touch to discuss whether she might be the right fit.

Person-centred and CBT options for online therapy

Jessica typically draws on a person-centred approach, which emphasises empathetic listening and tailoring the pace and focus of sessions to each person's experience. This approach helps people feel understood as they explore emotions, relationships and personal values.

She can also use cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) skills when helpful; CBT offers practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Jessica has additional training in supporting people who have experienced trauma, using sensitive, trauma-aware methods that prioritise pacing and safety.

Deciding on the right approach is collaborative. Jessica works with clients to understand their goals, preferences and needs, and together they choose or adapt approaches that fit the client’s situation.

Online therapy with Jessica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, balance therapy with work and family commitments, and maintain continuity of care even when life is busy.
