Graduated from Aberdeen University with a PGDip Person-Centered Counselling in 2023, Set up in private practice offering adult online and face to face counselling sessions based up in Aberdeenshire - https://www.jessicagrasham-counselling.com

Before this my background was in the media, child development and cultivating deep affinities for creativity, communication, arts, nature and animals.

I believe each person is unique and enjoy providing a unique safe healing space for clients to be their own self and explore connections, feelings and situations they are finding difficult, confusing or are just stuck in. 

The person-centred approach is all that. Doing Counselling Skills for CPD during 2020 Lockdown was when I first discovered Carl Rogers book 'Becoming a Person'. It felt like home. I found instances, descriptions and theories that fitted and made life-sense to me. The core qualities of acceptance, empathy and unconditional positive regard are universal and timeless. Person-centredness embraces 'persons' with no judgement. 

As diverse, different, unique, individual humans, we are linked by the simple beautiful intuitive need and right to be loved and accepted. For us to thrive and live our best lives this is necessary, it starts with the self, extends to others and then across society.
