About Me
Welcome to Chameleon Counselling,
My name is Jessica Woolley, I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I am passionate and dedicated to helping individuals navigate their unique paths to emotional well-being in a non-judgmental, empathetic, and confidential environment. At Chameleon Counselling, I understand that life is full of transitions and challenges, my mission is to support you through these times with compassion, empathy and expertise.
I am a qualified integrative counsellor with a robust background in the voluntary sector, having gained valuable experience at Essential Space and Cotswold Counselling before establishing my private practice.
My previous role as an outreach worker provided me with deep insights into complex relationship dynamics, domestic and sexual violence, substance misuse, and addiction. I have also completed specialized training in group facilitation and have successfully led programs focused on the cycle of abuse, and the patterns and emotional impact of abusive relationships.
I have experience in providing a holistic approach to therapy, integrating various therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic and person centred, to best meet the needs of each client. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or seeking personal growth or understanding of past trauma, Chameleon Counselling is here to provide a safe, supportive, and confidential environment for you to explore and express your feelings.

How I Can Help
At Chameleon Counselling, I do not claim to have all the answers, instead I work collaboratively with you to support you on your journey towards finding personal solutions and achieving your aspirations, goals or positive outcomes.
I believe in the power of personalised therapy, and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I recognise that each person's experiences and needs are unique, and believe that counselling can empower you to make positive changes and achieve a greater sense of balance, reconnection and fulfillment in your life.
