Jessica Vaccaro

I see clients online or in my office in central Norwich. I currently have some availability on Tuesdays and Fridays. 

I specialise in working with perinatal issues such as infertility and all types of pregnancy and baby loss including abortion, miscarriage, termination for medical reasons, ectopic or molar pregnancies, stillbirth and neonatal death. Other issues I work with include postnatal depression, experiences in NICU, birth trauma and the experience of foetal or infant diagnosis or suspected diagnosis.

In our sessions together, my aim is to help you feel heard and understood. Counselling provides a safe, neutral space to talk about and process difficult emotions and experiences. It can be helpful to think of counselling as a "container" for these difficulties: we can work together to prevent them from spilling over into everyday life. 

My training is in humanistic and integrative counselling, and I work in a very person-centred way. The most important aspect any kind of therapy is the strength of the therapeutic relationship; I strive to develop a meaningful therapeutic connection with my clients. I offer my clients warmth, active listening, deep empathy, and non-judgemental understanding and--sometimes--humour. I am committed to my professional development and frequently undertake trainings related to my specialism.

I offer a free 15-minute phone or online introductory discussion so that new clients can get a sense of me and how I work. 

As part of my commitment to BACP good practice, I will send out paperwork for new clients to complete prior to a first session.

All sessions are 50 minutes.
