Jess Strickland

I will be taking on new clients from January 2026, in my Park Street practice in Bristol, on Tuesday. Times are flexible. 

Hello, I'm Jess. I understand finding a therapist can be confusing and overwhelming, so I hope to make that easier with the information below. However if you're left with questions then please reach out and ask. 

I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, this is a complicated way of saying, I have lots of different tools in my tool box to help support you in the way you need. I pull on useful elements from different types of therapy. I believe sharing education around mental health can be really empowering and means you can take what we do together in our sessions into your own life.

I do not pretend to be an expert on you, instead I will try to work with you, figuring it out together as we go. We will go at your pace. 

I am trained to work with adults, young people and children (from 14+). I am a registered member of the BACP (British association of counsellors and psychotherapists). I do my best to welcome everyone from any walk of life, into my counselling room, and to treat you with respect and kindness.

I have ADHD and Autism and have lived and breathed the experience of living undiagnosed, the process of diagnosis and beyond. I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent people with whatever stage of their journey they're on. Whether you are formally diagnosed, self diagnosed, or are just starting to explore the thought you might be neurodivergent. Counselling can offer much needed support and I work in a way to adapt to all different needs. I have extensive CPD training in working with ADHD and Autism in the counselling room. 

I have tried to talk about my work without using unnecessary therapy jargon, however if you’re interested in more detail about how I work then please see my website.

I currently work from Park Street, my room is on the first floor so does not have wheel chair accessibility. It has well connected bus routes and local parking. 

I have experience supporting clients through many different challenges. These include, but aren’t limited to:

Neurodivergence, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, grief and loss, life transitions, identity, and sexual orientation, anger management, EBSA (emotionally based school avoidance) , Trauma.

If you don’t see your experience reflected here, please feel free to contact me to discuss whether I can help. 

I offer a free 15 minute phone call - this is for you to tell me anything you think is important but also a chance for you to ask me any questions you might have and for you to work out if I might be someone you’d like to work with.

After this we can book an initial session to discuss things in more detail. This can be just one, while you decide if I am right for you or you can book in a block of sessions depending how many you want. This session is charged as my standard rate.

I work both online and face to face. I can work short-term or long-term would suggest the minimum session length be 6. 

My fee is £60 per session. Each session is 50 minutes long. I offer a small number of concessionary-rate sessions. If cost is a barrier, please feel free to get in touch so we can explore options together.
