Jessica Orwin , BACP

Jessica Orwin is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on listening first and following the client’s pace. She offers a calm, accepting space for people feeling anxious, stressed, low, or unsure about relationships and life changes. Jess writes plainly and kindly, recognising how hard it can be to start therapy and how brave that step is.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy to help people notice their own feelings and make choices that feel right for them. That approach prioritises empathy, honest listening and the client’s own experience rather than the counsellor directing the process. Jess also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy when useful to look at patterns that repeat across relationships or life stages.

Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations might cover grief, anger, body image, stress and addictions, or questions about identity and being LGBT. Jess also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, isolation, family problems, codependency and feelings of emptiness.

With three years of practice, she brings an attentive, steady presence rather than quick fixes. Her BACP credential means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, as shown in her profile. She works from the United Kingdom and speaks English.

People can expect straightforward, gentle dialogue that aims to build understanding. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort and goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person you are now. The counsellor offers warm, non-judgemental listening and reflects back what you say to help you notice your feelings and make choices. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and self-esteem issues.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. It helps uncover how past experiences shape current reactions, which can be useful for attachment difficulties, grief, anger and persistent relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide what feels most helpful. That plan can change over time as you learn more about what helps you make progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or a quieter check-in, and messaging gives a flexible way to keep in touch without scheduling a full session. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
