Jessica Orwin, BACP

Jessica Orwin (Jess) is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers compassionate, person-centred support for people feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed. With three years of experience, she creates an empathic, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their feelings, relationships, and life changes at a pace that suits them. Jess combines a client-centered approach with psychodynamic thinking to help clients gain greater self-understanding, work through patterns rooted in past experiences, and build practical ways of coping.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, body image and eating issues, anger, self-esteem, and challenges related to family dynamics and LGBT matters. Her practice also supports people facing attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, loneliness, and the complexities of blended families and fatherhood.

Jessica values collaboration and aims to walk alongside clients as they develop insight and self-acceptance. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she follows professional standards while tailoring therapy to each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jessica draws on client-centered therapy to place the client's experience at the heart of the work, offering warmth, empathy, and acceptance so people can explore feelings and identify their own strengths - an approach that often helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to gently explore how past relationships and patterns may influence present emotions and behaviours, supporting insight into recurring difficulties and unresolved issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative conversation. Jessica works with each person to determine which methods align best with their goals, preferences, and needs, adapting the pace and focus as trust and understanding develop.

Online therapy with Jessica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access a licensed professional from home or while traveling, fit therapy into busy lives, and continue support even when in-person meetings are not possible.
