Some days you hold it together.
Some days you don’t.
Both are human and both are totally ok.

Therapy isn’t about having the right words or knowing what you need. It’s just a warm, safe space to show up exactly as you are.

If you’ve been telling yourself “I should be coping better” this is your reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.

I know showing up isn’t always easy.
Especially when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or carrying more than you let on.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you - you are not broken.
It is about having a space where you don’t have to perform, hold it all together, explain yourself, or be 'fine'.
If you’re feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or just ready for things to feel a bit lighter, you don’t have to do that alone.
Jess Rose Therapy is a compassionate space to pause, breathe, and start from wherever you are. Please get in touch.

Hi, I’m Jess, the therapist behind Jess Rose Therapy.

To be completely honest, I absolutely hate self-promotion and marketing. But showing up matters - especially if you’re thinking about trusting me with the important stuff - so here I am.

Outside of my work, I love reading with a mug of hot chocolate, saying hello to every cat or dog I pass, re-watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and listening to Taylor Swift.
I value connection, warmth, and showing up as a real person - and that’s the same way I approach therapy: gently, honestly, and at your pace.
I work with people who are exhausted from holding it all together, overthinking everything, or feeling like they should be coping better than they are. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you - you’re not broken. It’s about having a space where you don’t need to perform, slowing things down, and making sense of what’s going on underneath.

I particularly enjoy working with clients who are ADHD, autistic, and/or LGBTQIA+. Thoughtful, curious, perceptive, courageous - all the good stuff. Zero small talk. Maximum honesty.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling, you don’t have to do it alone.

Wecome to 2026.
Just a few gentle reminders for us all.

“The most wonderful time of the year”… or just the loudest?

If Christmas feels heavy, awkward, lonely, or emotionally exhausting you’re not broken.
Joy isn’t compulsory. Cheer isn’t a personality trait.
Struggling in December doesn’t mean you’re failing.

I’ve written a short blog about why Christmas can be hard and how to stop beating yourself up for it.

It’s okay to set December boundaries.
If you need them, try one of these:

"I can’t make that event, but thank you for inviting me.”
"I’m not discussing that topic today.”
“I need some time to myself.”
"No.”

Protect your peace this season.
You are allowed to choose what supports your wellbeing.

December can hold so many emotions.

It can bring up memories you didn’t ask to feel, remind you of people you miss or even stretch you too thin.

If this month feels heavy for you, know you are not alone and your heart is doing its best with what it’s carrying.

It’s okay if you’re not excited.
It’s okay if you’re exhausted.
It’s okay if you’re grieving.
It's okay if you're simply getting through.

If this month feels bigger than you can manage, please reach out.

You don’t have to go through December without support.

3 out of 4 suicides in the UK are by men, according to Movember.

This statistic is heartbreaking — and a powerful reminder of why we must keep challenging the stigma surrounding men’s mental health.

So often, men are taught to “be strong,” “push through,” or deal with things alone. But silence isn’t strength. Struggling without support doesn’t make problems smaller - it makes them heavier.

Real strength looks like:
• Admitting when something feels overwhelming.
• Reaching out instead of carrying everything alone.
• Having an honest conversation with a partner, friend, colleague, or professional.
• Making time for mental wellbeing just as you would for physical health or career goals.

At Jess Rose Therapy, I believe men deserve spaces where they can talk openly, feel heard, and be understood without judgement.

Whether it’s stress, burnout, loneliness, depression, trauma, or the weight of expectations - men deserve support and a safe place to explore what they’re going through. Asking for help isn’t weakness or failure. It’s a courageous step toward feeling grounded, healthy, and supported.

This International Men’s Day, let’s start conversations, check in on the men in our lives, and remind them they don’t have to go through it alone.

Talking about your feelings isn’t a weakness - it’s a powerful act of self-awareness.

You don’t have to have the “right words” or a neatly wrapped story. You can show up to therapy with me messy, unsure, emotional, numb, or anything in between.

Your feelings deserve space, and therapy is one of the few places designed to hold them gently and without judgement.

Today is World Kindness Day and I wanted to add this reminder that kindness isn’t about perfection - it’s about presence.
It’s the gentle pause, the soft “I hear you,” the courage to be yourself in a world that often asks you to shrink.

As a neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQIA+ inclusive space, I see daily how powerful kindness can be:
- Kindness to yourself when your energy dips
- Kindness in honouring your sensory needs
- Kindness in setting boundaries without apology
- Kindness in showing up exactly as you are
- Kindness towards those whose journeys look different from your own

Today, whether you comfort a friend, advocate for yourself, or simply take a quiet moment to rest... it all counts.

It’s all kindness.
