Jessica Orwin , BACP

Jessica Orwin recognises that taking the first step to find a counsellor can feel daunting and appreciates the time someone takes to explore her profile. She understands that people may arrive feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, or unsure how to make sense of a difficult situation, and that forming and maintaining relationships can be a real struggle for some. Wherever someone is in their experience, she believes everyone deserves a space to explore what is happening for them.

Working in a person-centred way, Jessica offers a non-judgemental, empathic environment where the client leads the pace and focus of the work. She aims to walk alongside people as they explore feelings, relationships, and life experiences, supporting self-development and helping clients build greater understanding and acceptance of themselves. Jessica values the empowering elements of person-centred practice and draws on an empathic stance to create room for exploration and growth. She often references Carl Rogers’ idea that the gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance provides illumination and healing.

Jessica holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional practice and ongoing development.

Client-Centered and Psychodynamic Support Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an empathic, non-judgemental space where the client sets the pace and direction of the work. It helps people who are dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and major life changes by encouraging self-discovery and personal growth.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships. This approach can be useful for those working with attachment issues, recurring relationship patterns, trauma, or persistent emotional difficulties as it aims to uncover and understand deeper drivers of behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify the methods that best match individual needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as understanding deepens.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to connect across distances. These options support consistent access to care and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and manageable for them.
