About Jake
Jake Freedman is a counsellor and psychotherapist who works with people facing stress, anxiety and the fallout of trauma. He holds a BACP credential - British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has seven years of experience in community mental health and addiction services. Jake spends time helping people see the patterns that repeat in their relationships and daily lives.
He explains how early experiences can shape behaviour and feelings in adulthood.
Background and approach
He pays close attention to how people relate to themselves and to others, and what those patterns cost in everyday life. Much of his background is in long-term psychotherapy for people with histories of addiction and childhood trauma. That work led him to specialise in developmental trauma and dissociation and to focus on issues such as depersonalisation and derealisation.
He follows current research related to these areas to inform his practice. In sessions Jake listens for recurring themes and for the emotional situations where they arise. He aims to help people understand both conscious and unconscious patterns so they become easier to change.
The pace of therapy is discussed and adjusted to fit each person’s needs. Jake offers sessions in English and works with international clients. He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose the format that best fits their life.
Psychodynamic and Trauma-Focused Therapy Online
Psychodynamic Therapy helps people understand repeating patterns in relationships and day-to-day life. It looks at how past experiences shape current reactions and feelings, and aims to make hidden patterns clearer so change becomes possible.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how traumatic experiences affect memory, identity and behaviour. It includes approaches that pay attention to dissociation, depersonalisation and the ways trauma can influence attachment and intimacy.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and together they will decide which method to try first. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses to find what works best for the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a conversational pace, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping focus on therapeutic work.
