Background and approach

Jake combines a warm, listening stance with practical techniques when helpful. He is studying a Level 5 diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, so he may suggest CBT tools alongside person-centred conversations. He also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when those approaches match a person’s goals.

Sessions focus on the issues you bring, such as anxiety, stress, relationship worries, low self-worth or difficulties with intimacy. Jake explains strategies in plain language and works at a pace that suits each person. He tailors the plan to individual needs and checks in about progress.

The emphasis is on small, achievable steps and on building skills you can use between sessions.

How Jake blends approaches online

Jake offers person-centred counselling and uses CBT-informed techniques to bring practical changes. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience, helping you feel heard and respected while you set the pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides simple, structured tools to notice thinking patterns and try new behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety and low mood.

He may also use motivational interviewing to help boost readiness for change and solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Jake will talk through options with you and decide together what fits your needs, preferences and aims.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and practical demonstrations of techniques. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let you reflect between messages and fit therapy around work or family commitments. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try different formats as needs change.
