Do you feel stuck in the same relationship patterns - whether you’re in a relationship or single? You might feel drawn to unavailable partners, stuck in the same arguments, or choosing people who can’t meet you emotionally. These patterns are changeable, and therapy is where that shift begins.

I work with adults & couples struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD & complex trauma, relationship difficulties, OCD and other emotional concerns. I approach therapy with a deep curiosity about you - how you see things like noone else. Depending on what brings you to therapy, we may explore how pivotal moments in life have shaped you, your beliefs, and your relationships. And we may also look at practical ways you could bring about the changes you hope for. My aim is to provide a supportive space that helps you understand things more clearly, accept yourself more fully, and feel more capable of meeting life’s challenges.

I also work with individuals in the perinatal period and offer parent-focused support, recognising that transitions to parenthood can activate unresolved experiences and intensify emotional demands.
I am a clinical & forensic psychologist who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, mood difficulties, addictive patterns, & eating/body concerns. Many of my clients are reflective and capable but feel stuck in cycles that once helped but are now creating difficulties in their lives. I have substantial experience working with substance use, including ambivalence about change. Whether you want to stop entirely, reduce your use, or simply understand the role of substances in your life, I approach this without judgement, recognising that substance use often reflects attempts to manage stress, emotional pain, or relational strain.

I also work with women through the perinatal and postnatal period.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and strengths-focused. My practice is also informed by examining the interplay between social forces and individual psychology, having observed that women and girls often develop negative ideas about themselves that have their origin in harmful cultural practices, such as the imposition of gender norms.

Many people who see Jessica appear capable and “functioning” on the outside, yet feel privately stuck in patterns that are exhausting and difficult to shift. Her clients are often thoughtful adults who have spent years masking ADHD challenges, navigating cycles of burnout, or feeling pulled into reactive trauma responses. Jessica works collaboratively to understand the deeper “system” shaping these patterns. We work on moving beyond surface symptoms to identify what is driving them, and what allows genuine, lasting change so clients can experience a steadier, more grounded way of living.

Finding a therapist who can deeply attune to you and creatively integrate approaches that truly align with your needs can be really hard.

I want to reassure you that I understand, both professionally and personally, just how crucial this stage is. That’s why I’ve made it a priority to ensure this part of the process feels as welcoming and informative as possible.

Do you often feel overwhelmed by the mental load of everyday life, struggling to keep on top of things even though you’re trying your best?

I practice Lacanian Psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is a talking work, or therapy, which aims to make an absolute difference to suffering. Lacan's psychoanalysis is based in the idea that the unconscious is structured like language. What you say reveals the unconscious processes that underlie any issues that are problematic for you, or recur. Psychoanalysis is the safe space where you can come to talk freely, without censorship and your analyst listens. There is no "correct" way to speak; the work of psychoanalysis is to find your own unique voice, especially of your unconscious.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
