Background and approach

The approach is non-directive so the client's priorities guide each meeting. In practice Jacob draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable steps. Those methods are used alongside the person-centred stance to help people move from feeling stuck to taking practical steps.

Sessions are focused on small, manageable changes and what can be tried between meetings. He has three years of professional experience and holds BACP credentials, which are listed as his professional registration. Jacob works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, bipolar challenges and issues linked to work and money.

People can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge when useful, and collaborative goal-setting. Jacob aims to support people through life transitions, deal with overwhelming emotions and rebuild confidence at a comfortable pace.

How client-centred and solution-focused work online

Jacob uses client-centred therapy to listen closely and follow what matters most to the client. That approach focuses on understanding feelings and experiences so people feel heard and accepted, which can help with anxiety, self-esteem and coping with loss.

He also uses solution-focused therapy to break problems into small, practical goals. This method looks at what is already working, sets clear next steps and tracks progress, which can be helpful for stress, motivation and relationship issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jacob will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people keep face-to-face contact, phone uses less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, live chat is useful for brief conversations and messaging works well for gradual reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life, and they let people choose what feels most comfortable for them.
