Before transitioning to Psychotherapy, Jessica navigated the demanding world of Corporate Enterprise sales, balancing multi-million-pound targets with raising two children.   Jessica recognizes that workplace stress can be substantial and that traditional workplace mental health approaches often overlook the interconnected nature of our lives. She believes that focusing solely on work-related well-being is insufficient and that a more holistic approach is necessary to address the complexities of mental health in the workplace.   As a Human Givens Ambassador, Jessica advocates for a holistic approach to well-being. Inspired by her personal journey through depression, she believes that understanding our emotional needs is key to living a more fulfilling life and creating a life where you can thrive.   Research has demonstrated that our emotional needs significantly influence our behaviour and by understanding these needs and how they are met in our lives, combined with how our innate resources (our biological templates that we develop throughout our lives), and our cognitive behaviours can support us to meet our needs, then it can put us on the path to creating positive change.   Jessica's private practice, Therapy with Jessica, specialises in brief solution-focused therapy for individuals struggling with depression and relationship issues. She is passionate about making a positive impact and as an Ambassador, is dedicated to promoting Human Givens therapy and helping as many people as possible through her work as a therapist.

My personal journey has included numerous operations from a very young age, including brain surgery. Each time, I learned to rebuild my body and make it stronger. Through these experiences something else strengthened too, my sensitivity to energy. Over time I realised that when I stand in front of someone, I can sense their energy and often feel it physically within my own body. At first I didn’t understand it, but when I gently shared what I was sensing, people confirmed it. I realised I wasn’t imagining it, I was feeling their energy. My passion for healing others, combined with my own experiences with energy medicine, shaped my belief that the mind and body must be treated as one. Everything I have learned I first practiced on myself. One experience changed everything. When I was twelve, my brother accidentally broke my coccyx, leaving a visible lump at the base of my spine for years. Later in life, while reading The 12 Stages of Healing by Donald Epstein on a spring day, I experienced something extraordinary. Suddenly, a bolt of energy came out of the blue. It hit me, taking me back and forth as if in slow motion. In that instant, the base of my spine straightened at the sacroiliac joint and the lump disappeared. I now understand this moment as an awakening. From then on my sensitivity intensified. When I place my hands on someone in pain, as my hands cool, the pain or tightness often dissolves. I can feel contraction, emotional holding and density within the body, not intellectually but somatically. Healing for me is not only physical. it includes emotional and energetic layers. With a grounded presence I can often sense hidden grief, guarded hearts or tension held in the body, and support people as those patterns release. My work integrates breath and heart coherence, hot hands, chakra alignment, energetic renewal, emotional imprint release, nervous system regulation, neural tapping, thought-frequency awareness, pain relief and forgiveness. The foundation of my work is regulated presence. When the nervous system feels safe, it softens. When it softens, energy can move. I don’t chase symptoms. I change states. When the energetic and emotional roots beneath discomfort are addressed, healing is not forced, it is allowed. Everything I facilitate, I embody first. And in that presence, others remember how to return to themselves.

Claudia Cubbage is a UK-based career change coach and headteacher coach with over 30 years’ experience in education. She spent 25 years in senior leadership and a decade as a headteacher. Her work focuses on helping headteachers and school leaders lead effectively and sustainably in increasingly complex educational systems. Alongside this, she supports professionals from outside education who are navigating career change and seeking clarity about what comes next.   Claudia holds a degree in industrial design, an MBA in Strategic Leadership, a Level 7 Diploma in Life Coaching, and is a Personalised Care Institute certified health and wellbeing coach. She began her career as a design technology teacher, teaching resistant materials, electronics, and graphics. Over time, she went on to lead high-performing teams and support school improvement at system level. She was seconded on three occasions by the local authority as an associate headteacher, coaching leadership teams to secure sustained improvement, before becoming a substantive headteacher.   Since retiring from headship, Claudia has founded RenewEd Ltd and created the Compass framework. This framework underpins her RenewEd Leadership coaching and is explored in depth in her forthcoming book RenewEd Leadership, the first in the RenewEd book series on leadership, career, and confidence.   She was also a member of a national Headteacher Advisory Group from its inception until her retirement from headship. She now provides consultancy services to educational charities and organisations, contributing to system-level work and the development of national guidance and curriculum resources.   Before her career in education, Claudia was an international athlete and a trailblazer in women’s pole vaulting during the 1980s.
