About Me
Ever wondered why something still hurts… even though it happened years ago?
Some things don’t just fade away with time. They sit with you, silently affecting the way you think, feel, and react, long after the event itself has passed. You might even tell yourself, “I should be over this by now.” But the truth is, unresolved pain needs more than just time. It needs attention, understanding, and space to be processed, so that it can finally move through you and make room for healing.
I’m Jess, a fully qualified person-centred counsellor with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Offering counselling in Hove, Horsham and online. In my work, we don’t just talk about what’s wrong, we dive deep into how your experiences are shaping you today. We’ll explore your past, your thoughts, your feelings, and your reactions like detectives on a mission to uncover the story behind your pain, your patterns, and your emotional roadblocks.
Because, let’s be honest, you can’t heal what you don’t understand.
And that’s where I come in. I don’t offer quick fixes or band-aid solutions. What I offer is a process, a thorough, reflective, and deep investigation into what’s happened to you, what’s holding you back, and what’s keeping you stuck. We’ll take the time to explore what lies beneath the surface, to understand your emotional world from the inside out. Only then can real healing begin.
My own experience in therapy opened my eyes to just how transformative this process can be. It wasn’t just about talking through problems. It was about peeling back layers, identifying the root causes of my struggles, and processing the things I hadn’t yet understood about myself. That’s what I want to offer you — the chance to make sense of what’s happened in your life, not just on the surface, but at the core.
I have worked with people navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, and the kind of emotional overwhelm that can feel impossible to work through alone. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it can be to understand your story and to finally give yourself the space to process it. Over the past 18 months, I’ve also facilitated group therapy for mothers, giving a platform for shared emotional experiences and mutual support. But no matter your background or your reason for seeking therapy, my work is always tailored to your individual needs and experiences.
