Jess | Counsellor
Counselling Christchurch Central City
Kia ora, I am Jess, a 26-year-old counsellor living in Christchurch New Zealand. I have a passion to journey with others by creating a safe space where people feel valued and listened to.
My practice is based on a person-centred approach. I adapt my practice depending on each person, what they need and their experiences. Some of the approaches I use are Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Strength- Based Therapy. I value your culture, values and beliefs and will work with you in these.
I work with all ages, I have a lot of experience with teenagers and young adults but am honoured to work alongside anyone. A few issues I work with anxiety, friendship/relationship issues, self-esteem, depression, grief and loss but I am not limited to these.
Teenagers and young adults
My passion is working alongside teenagers and young adults, I have worked and volunteered in both school and church settings for 4+ years.
When I am not working as a private practice counsellor I am a school counsellor. Although I have a passion for youth I still love to work alongside both children and adults.
If you want to know more or make an appointment, feel free to contact me via the Send a message - button.

I can't speak more highly of Jess
I can't speak more highly of Jess, we are located in Dubai (United Arab Emirates), my Daughter was struggling with Anxiety.
When I first contacted Jess she was so understanding, even though the time difference between newzealand and Dubai, she was able to provide us with a suitable time for the online sessions.
She set my expectations very clearly at the beginning, and gave me very useful observation after sessions about my Daughter, while keeping the confidentiality between both of them.
Her sessions has left profound impact on her.
Jess has equipped my Daughter with tools to better manage her anxiety and bad thoughts.
I feel grateful that I was able to find Jess, and could not recommend her more to anyone.

Jess is a wonderful therapist
Jess is a wonderful therapist. She listens and takes in everything I say. She is very personable and relatable. She is very professional and keeps things neutral but bringing the back to me and my feelings so I can heal myself from within. She is very friendly and kind and I feel very safe sharing personal details and struggling about what’s going on in my life.
