My name is Jessica Puddicombe

I love Jesus, My husband, my children, my milk cow norah, over 100 Chickens, a great cup of coffee & my Bible!

I am a woman who strives to help others and make positive changes to better the world around us. I have a voice and an opinion, and I am not afraid to speak up, even when the world says not to.

Untangled Counselling to Coaching has been brought to life through my strong calling from God. Walking with people in their life’s journey and helping them through the hard things in this life. Reminding people that they are not alone and that there are people that care, and are genuinely here to listen.

My life’s story has brought me to this place where I want to use the hard things I have walked through, as a way to help others. I was raised in environments that exposed me to alcoholism and drugs, childhood sexual abuse, poverty, atheism, prodigal/child abandonment, parental alienation and domestic violence. I have made it to the other side by my Faith in Christ, many wonderful counsellors, friends, and family along the way.

Why choose me?

Being a certified but not licensed Counsellor allows me to counsel, coach, and mentor people worldwide, in any time zone. If I had a license, it would be limited to my jurisdiction, and I would not have been able to offer services in the USA or abroad.

Secondly, and most importantly, these licensing bodies’ current code of conduct restricts me from practising my faith within my career.

I am not a separate entity from my counselling career, and God has called me to do this ministry work. I would be uncomfortable with the rules outlined in the current Canadian professional standards set by the Government, Boards, and local jurisdictions. However, this does not impede my abilities to counsel; it allows me to counsel how the Holy Spirit leads.

One of the biggest roadblocks to counselling is money and time! I have made this very easy for the client by offering a donation-based approach and multiple avenues of counselling, including email mentoring or video text chat.

Donation Based Services

There are those on this earth who are helping Him do His work. We are God’s working ‘busy-bees’ on this earth, and I believe this with every bit of my being! I want to give back to people naturally and authentically, not only through counselling but also coaching and mentorship. We all need someone in our corner and money should not be the issue that stands in the way. All of my one-on-one services are by donation. Some of the intensives and retreats are subsidized on an as needed basis.

Coaching

Coaching takes someone from a functioning level to optimal. We don’t always feel up to ‘another goal’; however, with my support, we will unlock the blocks hindering you from living the life God has for you. The best life is around the corner, and I am here to help you obtain that.

Solution Focused Counselling

Solution focused counselling empowers someone who is not functioning in an area of their life. This push from your coach / counselor could be exactly what you wanted to direct your path forward! I am very straight-forward and expect a lot of work from my clients. Solution-focused counselling does just this, we concentrate on the solutions, not the problems!

Narrative Counselling

Narrative therapy is different than solution-focused therapy. Narrative therapy allows people to tell their story; and then to think about it in another way; empowering the client to process the trauma or situation they are in. Narrative therapy can take months if not years to fully ‘talk it out’. Be aware, your trauma may have happened fast, but the emotions around them rarely do.
