You Look Like You’re Coping. I Know You’re Exhausted.

Hello, I’m Jessica Vassallo.

If we met for a coffee in Exeter today, or met online from whichever beautiful corner of the world you are from, you’d probably strike me as someone who has it all together. You’re the one managing the high-pressure job, holding the family together, and showing up for everyone else with a smile.

But I know the truth of what’s happening underneath the surface. I know about the furious paddling just to stay afloat.

I know about the 3 AM wake-ups with a racing heart. I know the exhaustion of fighting a daily battle with anxiety that you can’t logic your way out of. I know the frustration of promising yourself you won’t have the sugar/wine/procrastination tonight, only to find yourself doing it anyway.

You are not broken. You are not weak. And you certainly don’t need more “willpower.”

Your “Why”

I believe that most of what we call “self-sabotage”—the anxiety loops, the bad habits, the imposter syndrome—are simply outdated survival strategies.

At some point in your life, your brilliant, protective unconscious mind created a program to keep you safe. It worked then. But now, years later, that old program is still running on autopilot, and it’s getting in the way of the life you want to live.

You have tried to change it with conscious effort—reading the books, listening to the podcasts, maybe even trying talk therapy. But you can’t fight an unconscious program with conscious logic. It’s like trying to update your phone’s software by shouting at the screen.

My role is to help you access the control room of your mind—the unconscious—so we can finally upgrade that outdated software.

How I Work

I am an award-winning Clinical Hypnotherapist and Transformative Change Coach based in Exeter and East Devon.

Over the last decade, I have had the privilege of working with over 2,000 clients—from stressed CEOs to overwhelmed parents—helping them break free from the patterns that held them back.

My approach is not about endless talking or dwelling on the past. It’s about rapid, lasting change. I blend a unique range of disciplines—including neuroscience, clinical hypnosis, and NLP—to speak directly to the part of your brain that controls your habits and emotions.

We don’t just manage the symptoms. We change the underlying strategy.

I work with clients face-to-face at The Practice Rooms in Exeter and online with people across the globe.
