Jessica Gregory

Human life is messy, and our struggles rarely fit into a neat, tidy box (as much as we'd like them to). I work with adults from all walks of life who may be navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, abandonment wounds, and struggles around identity.

My practice integrates humanistic, psychodynamic, relational, cognitive, and trauma-informed approaches, meeting you wherever you are. All this to say, I see the human in you before anything else. With space to focus on yourself, and a little support, you'll begin to cultivate the shifts needed to feel less stuck in life. I adapt my way of working to meet you where you're at. Some clients find it helpful to understand the psychological and neurological processes behind what they're experiencing, while others benefit from slowing down and exploring emotions, bodily responses, and deeper patterns of relating.

I enjoy incorporating neuroscience into my way of working, and my approach has been shaped not only by professional training but also by my own experiences of therapy and personal healing journey.

I also love working relationally, which means I believe therapy is built on connection, not clinical distance or coldness. Often, human distress develops within relationships, so it makes sense that healing can happen through relationships too. So, for me, being relational means showing up as a real human first. While I hold the theoretical frameworks and professional responsibility, I don't hide behind a formal mask and recognise how much courage and trust it takes to reach out for support.

As Carl Jung said: "Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul."

I have a particular interest in identity, belonging, cultural experiences, grief and loss, relational patterns, and the impact of past experiences on present-day life.

For more on how I work, have a look at my website.

Like most therapists, I offer a warm, honest space to explore whatever's bringing you to therapy, whether that's a specific issue or a general sense that something isn't right. Being relational means I see therapy as something we create together. I'll be genuine, transparent, and interested in how therapy feels for you, not just what you're talking about.

Sessions are usually weekly to begin with, allowing time for us to build a therapeutic relationship. We'll regularly check in on how the work is feeling, with a more formal review every six sessions to explore whether continuing feels right for you. You're always welcome to ask questions about how I work and why.

While I speak Cantonese, I currently offer counselling sessions in English only.

In our first few sessions, the priority is building trust. We'll explore where you are right now and what helps you feel safe and supported. There is no expectation to share painful experiences straight away. As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe therapy should move at a pace that feels manageable for you, as revisiting difficult experiences too quickly can sometimes be overwhelming rather than helpful.

I am available for counselling appointments on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the daytime (£60). Where possible, I aim to be flexible and may be able to accommodate early morning or evening sessions to suit individual needs, with evening sessions at £65 (after 5pm). Please contact me to discuss what might work best for you.

I came to therapy because of my own experiences of trauma, and those experiences continue to shape the way I work today.

Many of us get really good at carrying on. We look after other people, meet expectations and keep everything ticking over, often without stopping to ask ourselves what we need.

For some people, it's not that they've forgotten their needs. It's that they've spent so much of their lives focused on everyone else that they've never really had the chance to discover them. They were the responsible one, the peacemaker, the helper, or the child who learned not to make a fuss.

After a while, that can leave us feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves.

I know how daunting it can feel to slow down and pay attention to what's been pushed aside. What if it all becomes too much? What if everything you've worked so hard to hold together starts to unravel?

I don't see therapy as opening the floodgates. I see it as having a space where you don't have to carry things on your own.

I work integratively, with a particular interest in the body. Sometimes we know something isn't right long before we can explain it. It might show up as a tight chest, a knot in your stomach, exhaustion, brain fog or a constant sense of being on edge. I'm interested in what those experiences might be trying to tell us.

Please share a brief note on what you're hoping to explore or work through in Therapy when making contact. Knowing a little bit about what you're experiencing helps me prepare for our first conversation, but please only share what feels comfortable. It is completely okay if you aren't sure how to put it into words yet or don't know exactly what's going on, the purpose of Therapy is so you don't have to figure out alone or have all the answer right away :)

Like most therapist's, I offer a warm, honest space to explore whatever's bringing you to therapy, whether that's a specific issue or a general sense that something isn't right. I tend to work relationally, paying attention to what comes up between us as well as what you bring from outside the room, and I'll be transparent about my thinking and open to your feedback on how the work is going.

I'm currently returning to practice after a break, so I have some flexibility with availability and am taking on a small number of new clients. I’m happy to answer any questions about this if it's helpful for you to know.

Sessions are usually weekly to start, so we can build up a relationship before anything else. I welcome questions at any point about how or why I'm working the way I am, there's no need to have things figured out before you arrive.

Though I do speak cantonese, I only deliver sessions in English. 

Therapy is one of many tools that can support healing, growth, and reconnection. I don't believe therapists have all the answers, but I do believe in creating a space where you can explore your experiences with care, curiosity, and compassion.

If you've ever felt misunderstood, disconnected from yourself, or as though you've had to shrink parts of who you are to be accepted, therapy can offer an opportunity to be met differently. I aim to create a space where all parts of you are welcome, and where your experiences, relationships, culture, identity, and history can be explored safely and without judgement.

As an integrative therapist with a strong interest in trauma-informed and somatic approaches, I understand that not everything can be expressed through words alone. Together, we may explore thoughts, emotions, body sensations, breath, and patterns of relating that can help deepen understanding and support change.
