Meet Jess: Your Guide to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a dedicated Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) with over 14 years of experience specializing in helping people navigate life’s challenges and unlock their potential. With a background in mental health spanning two decades, I bring a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and practical expertise to my work.
I began my career in mental health in 2006, becoming a qualified Mental Health Nurse with a strong foundation in acute and forensic mental health care. Over the years, I’ve worked across various settings, including the NHS, private sector, and charity organizations, gaining experience with diverse populations and challenges.
"I’m passionate about helping people realize their inner strength. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your challenges and develop the tools to thrive. Whether you’re facing a momentary hurdle or a long-standing issue, I’m here to guide you toward a brighter future."
Jess
Since 2009, I’ve been practicing as a CBT therapist, working with individuals to develop resilience and find clarity amidst life’s complexities. My career has also included leadership roles, such as serving as Clinical Lead for a large mental health organization in the UK.
I have a special interest in military trauma, helping veterans and active service members address the unique challenges they face. This passion stems from a deep respect for their service and a commitment to supporting their mental health and recovery.
Are you ready to take the first step toward positive change? Let’s explore how CBT can work for you.
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are interconnected. By identifying and challenging unhelpful patterns, CBT empowers you to develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving.
CBT is:
- Collaborative: We work together as a team.
- Practical: Focused on actionable strategies to improve your life.
- Transformative: Aiming to create meaningful, lasting change.
How I work
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress, CBT can provide tools to overcome obstacles and enhance your well-being.
I work with an age range of 16 years and upwards.

CBT is a versatile and effective therapy for addressing a range of mental health conditions, including:
- Anxiety disorders: Social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), phobias, and panic disorders.
- Depression: Managing low mood, hopelessness, and negative thought patterns.
- Stress management: Coping with work-related stress, life changes, or chronic pressure.
- Trauma and PTSD: Including military trauma, childhood trauma, or traumatic life events.
