WHY THE COUNSELLOR THING?

Firstly, it rhymes with my surname - Jessica Wing, The Counsellor Thing.

But why should you pick me as your therapist? I've been working with people experiencing poor mental health since 2016, and counselling since 2019. I’m a qualified Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor, which means that in my training I studied multiple theoretical approaches and use a different combination of skills depending on the needs of my clients. I'm a real human (not clinical with a clipboard) and not afraid to be my authentic self, which I believe gives my clients permission and space to do the same.

​

I exclusively work with women, girls and non-binary people. The essence of my work is to facilitate a non-judgemental space for you to explore your experiences, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and gain empowerment in your own wellbeing. I endeavour to support my clients in a trauma informed way in which they feel safe, supported, and valued.

I offer counselling over a video conferencing platform. I enjoy online work because it is accessible. I can reach people all over the world:

• with disabilities
• that are housebound
• living in remote or rural areas
• without access to transport
• without childcare or respite
• with busy schedules

You can connect to sessions from the comfort and privacy of your own home, slotting therapy into your schedule at the most convenient time for you.

​

Alongside being a Counsellor I have worked as a Social Prescriber and a Mental Health Trainer. I have expertise in the "what matters to you" approach, with health coaching, and navigating to appropriate services within the community and charity sector. I have provided training for diverse delegate groups on a variety of topics including: stress, anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicide, getting back into work, how to get help for a mental health problem, an introduction to mental health, professional boundaries, and dynamic risk assessment.
