Jessica Cooke understands how important it is to take time choosing the right therapist and appreciates anyone who reads profiles carefully.
She has worked as a therapist in both health-care settings and private practice for over 15 years. Her academic background includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, an MA in Clinical Counselling and a Diploma in CBT, which means she combines an undergraduate degree in psychology, a master’s in counselling and specific training in cognitive behavioural therapy.
Jessica adapts her approach to fit each person she sees, because what is helpful in therapy often depends on the issue being addressed and the individual’s needs. She is comfortable working with people who are not yet sure what they want from therapy and will take time to explore concerns and clarify goals together.
Her aim is to help clients understand the problems they are facing and then offer practical, evidence-informed ideas for working with those issues. Some problems can be straightforward to address, while others need more time to uncover patterns and causes - and that process is central to therapeutic work.
Jessica is open about the fact that therapy can be challenging and may involve change. If the current situation is not working, she supports people through the process of working toward different ways of living and relating.
Whether or not Jessica is the right fit, she sends her best wishes to anyone beginning or continuing their therapy journey.
