Jessica Reynolds

I currently have availability for new clients. I offer in-person counselling sessions on:

• Tuesdays: 9:30am – 4:30pm

• Thursdays: 9:30am – 4:30pm

• Fridays: 9:30am – 3:30pm

I also offer a limited number of evening appointments during the week between 5:30pm and 8:00pm, subject to availability. 

All evening appointments are online only, delivered via Microsoft Teams or telephone.

I am a humanistic, integrative counsellor working primarily from a person-centred approach. I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful and lasting change. My way of working is relational and collaborative, offering a calm, confidential space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I aim to support you in feeling heard, understood, and accepted, whatever you may be bringing to counselling.

I may draw on approaches such as Gestalt therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Somatic awareness, where appropriate. This allows the work to be responsive to you as an individual, rather than following a fixed structure. I also offer gentle creative or expressive ways of working, if this feels supportive and meaningful for you.

I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship issues, and unhelpful patterns or behaviours. You do not need to have everything worked out before starting counselling - we can take time to explore what feels important together.

I attend regular clinical supervision and engage in ongoing professional development to support safe, ethical, and reflective practice.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and I aim to offer a warm and supportive first step. If you are considering counselling, you are welcome to get in touch to see whether working together might feel right for you.

I work under my private practice, Reynolds Counselling and Wellness, which was created to offer a calm, thoughtful, and compassionate space for therapy and wellbeing. 

My counselling work takes place in Chichester town centre in a modern building designed to feel safe, welcoming, and comfortable. The space is newly built and thoughtfully designed, with light, quiet rooms that are clean, warm, and peaceful. Each room offers a private and confidential environment where you can take time for yourself, away from the busyness of everyday life. Many clients describe the space as grounding, somewhere they can begin to settle and feel at ease.

Sessions are 50-minutes in length. Whether you are new to therapy or returning after time away, my aim is for the space to feel supportive, respectful, and held with care.

You are warmly invited to explore my website to learn more about my approach, values, and the wider work offered through Reynolds Counselling and Wellness: https://www.reynoldscounselling.co.uk/

I offer a free 15-minute discovery call to give you the opportunity to decide whether working with me feels right for you. This call is non-obligatory, and can be arranged by getting in touch directly or via my website. The discovery call is a required first step before beginning counselling with me.

During the discovery call, we can briefly explore what has brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain from therapy, and how I work as a counsellor. You are welcome to ask any questions you may have. 

If you decide to proceed, your first counselling session will provide space to explore your experiences in more depth and to begin building a therapeutic relationship at a pace that feels comfortable for you. During this session, we will also go through the counselling contract and working agreement together, ensuring clarity around boundaries, confidentiality, and how we will work together.

An assessment is also completed collaboratively within the first session to support a safe and ethical start to counselling. This allows me to understand your needs, ensure that counselling is appropriate, and discuss any recommendations or next steps where necessary.
