Jessica Russell

Please contact me with your availability - I have a degree of flexibility during the week (Tues-Thursday)

Please note: I see clients online, on the telephone and face to face.

Hello and welcome!

My name is Jess and my gender pronouns are she/her. I am a trauma informed therapist working from East London and Clapham, who has extensive experience working with individuals from different cultural backgrounds, gender identities and sexualities.

I am a fully trained and experienced therapeutic counsellor with expertise in working with individuals and helping them to feel safe. Starting therapy takes courage, and talking can be difficult at times, it isn’t always easy and I am sensitive to this during counselling sessions. A safe and non-judgemental relationship between my clients and myself is at the core of my work.

My approach to therapy is first to create a safe space where one is accepted and valued for who they are, as they are, without judgement. I acknowledge each person as a multifaceted, unique being. With this in mind, I welcome all experiences you may bring into the therapy room.

Please note: *My practice is LGBTQ+ aware and inclusive*

In addition to my work with adults, I have more than 6 years of experience working with children and young people. This work has involved play therapy, and using artistic/creative ways of connecting with my clients. I have found that this has lead to meaningful change and positive well-being outcomes.

I have also worked with clients wanting to explore their experience of neurodiversity such as (but not limited to) ADHD and Autism, and others have used therapy sessions to discuss whether going forward with a diagnosis is right for them.

I work with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues, be that stress, anxiety, relationship issues, depression, shame, self-esteem issues, anger, trauma, and others. I have particular expertise dealing with issues of identity and sense of self.

Training, qualifications & experience:

'Counselling Project Lead for Young People' for 5 years at METRO Charity Ltd. There, I managed the counselling service as a whole for children and young people aged 8-18.

Counsellor for METRO Charity Ltd, providing support for LGBTQ+ young people and adults living in London.

Diploma in Counselling: Integrative Pathway.

BSc Psychology.

Continued professional development:

I have engaged with the following trainings below that have all helped to shape and inform my therapeutic practice:

Neurodiversity training - particularly around autism and ADHD

Trauma informed training

Domestic violence training

Safeguarding training level 1,2,3 for adults and children

Self-harm training

Eating disorder training

I offer 50-minute face-to-face, Zoom or telephone sessions. Face-to-face sessions will take place in East London, E2. 

Please contact me via phone (07592471693) or email here to arrange a free no obligation 20 minute chat. If you'd like to call, please leave me a voicemail with your name and number and I will get back to you ASAP. 

In our initial chat, you can tell me a little bit about what's going on for you at the moment and we can discuss how I may be able to support you. It will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have.
