About Jess
Jess is a Clinical Psychologist who uses an integrative approach in her clinical work, drawing on principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). An integrative approach allows her to develop formulations and interventions which are individualised and tailored to the client. During sessions she aims to create a safe space for you to reflect, build on your strengths and enhance skills for nurturing your own wellbeing. This will be done collaboratively, compassionately and at a pace you feel comfortable with.

She has also worked in physical health settings with individuals who have been affected by cancer. She has particular interest and expertise working with adults with Learning Disabilities and Autism.
