Jessica Grante
Tadworth PracticeCBT and Counselling Tadworth
My name is Jessica and I’m a fully qualified and experienced psychotherapeutic Counsellor and registered Member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) based at CBT and Counselling Tadworth.
I have a Psychology BA, a Higher Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling as well as various Certificate qualifications. Such as Ascentis Bereavement Support and L2 Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences. I specialise in individual and couples therapy and offer a safe, supportive and confidential space for you to explore your unique issues in order to find a path forward.
Perhaps you are struggling with effective communication, caught in a cycle of negative thoughts and emotions, or facing challenges in your personal life. You’re not alone. Emotional and personal issues are incredibly common. However, they don’t have to define or limit your well-being and growth.
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead, I will empower you to achieve your unique personal goals. Whether that’s improving self-esteem, resolving past trauma and repetitive behaviour patterns, managing anxiety & depression, or gaining greater clarity on your life’s direction.
My approach to therapy
During our therapy sessions, I employ Integrative methodology, which simultaneously draws down on Rogerian person-centred; Freudian psychodynamic; transactional, relational and existential approaches in order to focus on your specific care and needs as an individual. I will help you rediscover healthy coping mechanisms and unravel any unhelpful, negative thinking patterns. If willing, we may delve into your past experiences and life events. This fosters greater self-awareness, understanding and self-compassion.
.Although I’m not a qualified CBT practitioner, the holistic exploration of whether repeated patterns of thoughts (both conscious and unconscious); feelings; attitudes and behaviours are impacting one’s ensuing experiences, can also incorporate a tool kit for facing difficulties in the self-actualisation journey toward effectively understanding & meeting needs/goals.
Working collaboratively we can discuss practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, overwhelm self-esteem and depression. I foster an environment where sustainable change can flourish. My commitment to evidence-based theories ensures that each therapeutic journey is grounded in proven methods, tailored to meet the unique needs of every person who walks through my door.

Background/experience
Prior to qualifying as a Counsellor, I worked as a teacher within both state and private schools. It was here, that I realised, how I particularly enjoyed the psychological aspects of teaching, seeking out the holistic picture of my students and their families. Therefore, making the transition to becoming a Therapist was a natural step.
Six years ago, I trained as a Bereavement Counsellor with ‘Cruse Bereavement Care’. This enabled me exposure to a wide range of issues and a diverse range of cultures, ages, sexuality and relationship situations. I’ve also volunteered as a pro-bono counsellor at Sutton Women’s Centre, which is a hub for survivors of domestic abuse.
I’m DBS checked fully insured and uphold my continuous personal development training requirements to ensure I provide the best possible service to my clients.
Ethical Standards – Adhering to the highest professional standards set forth by BACP, I maintain strict adherence to their ethical guidelines. Furthermore, I prioritise ongoing supervision and Continual Professional Development (CPD) to continuously enhance my skills and knowledge. This unwavering commitment ensures that the service I provide to my clients is of the utmost quality, enabling me to offer the best possible support throughout our therapeutic journey.
Inclusion and Diversity – I offer a non-judgmental, safe space to explore themes of gender; sexuality; racial identity & ancestral trauma; equality and dis/ability; and neuro-divergence. My therapy room is fully accessible.
