Dr. Jess Clapham, BACP

Dr. Jess Clapham is a counsellor who uses a respectful, person-focused style to help people make practical changes. She draws on three years of professional experience in the UK and works in English and Welsh. Jess aims to make the first step less daunting for people who want clearer direction and more confidence.

She mostly focuses on everyday pressures such as stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also helps with career questions, coping with life changes, relationship concerns and the impact of trauma or grief. Jealousy is listed among her additional areas of focus and she can talk through the thoughts and behaviours that come with it.

Jess uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She also draws on existential ideas to help people consider values, meaning and life choices. In practical terms that means listening, reflecting back what’s important, and helping people make choices that fit their life.

She has worked with people on parenting strain, anger, ADHD and family of origin issues, along with adoption and attachment concerns. Jess also supports those coping with forgiveness, guilt, hoarding and control or commitment issues. Her approach aims to be down-to-earth and respectful.

Jess is registered with BACP, which appears as her listed credential. To begin, people follow the site’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

How client-centred and existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through stress, self-esteem or relationship worries and to find their own priorities.

Existential Therapy encourages reflection on values, purpose and life choices. It can be useful for people facing big changes, career crossroads or questions about meaning and commitment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which ideas to use, based on the person’s goals and preferences. Together they will shape a plan that feels practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to help people balance therapy with work, family and other commitments.
