Jessica Grante

Jessica is a qualified and highly experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor and couples therapist. She offers a calm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you and your partner can talk openly and work through what feels difficult.

Using an integrative approach, Jessica blends person-centred, psychodynamic, and transactional methods to help couples understand themselves and each other more deeply. Whether you are navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or need clarity about the future of your relationship, she provides practical guidance, structured tools, and steady support so you can reconnect with confidence and respect.

Hello, my name is Jessica and I am a fully qualified individual and couples counsellor. I am a registered member of the BACP and follow their ethical guidelines, maintaining regular supervision and ongoing professional development to ensure the highest standard of care.

My main focus is relational therapy. This means looking at both your relationship with yourself, such as identity, attachment style, and self-esteem, and your relationships with others including partners, family members, and children. I offer a warm and confidential space where you can explore both current challenges and historic patterns that may be affecting your relationship today.

I do not believe therapy is one size fits all. Every couple brings something unique, so I work collaboratively, adapting the pace, focus, and tools to suit your needs. My aim is to help you understand each other more clearly, communicate more effectively, and find a way forward that feels achievable and fair to both of you.

Where you feel stuck or unsure of what comes next, I help you gain clarity by introducing a range of techniques designed to support safe, productive conversations.

The heart of couples therapy is communication. I help you slow conversations down, listen to each other without interruption, and understand the needs and feelings beneath the surface. This often leads to a deeper awareness of your own patterns as well as your partner’s.

Together, we explore how early life experiences, expectations, and different communication styles can shape how you relate to each other. Understanding these patterns reduces resentment and conflict and creates space for empathy, connection, and change.

I use an integrative approach based on the Petruska Clarkson relational model, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, attachment, and transactional theories as needed.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in education within both state and private schools. My interest in the emotional wellbeing of students and families led me naturally into therapeutic work.

I trained with Cruse Bereavement Care and have supported people of all ages and backgrounds. I have also worked with survivors of domestic abuse through Sutton Women’s Centre. I am DBS checked, fully insured, and committed to ongoing development to ensure the best possible service.
