About Jason
Jason Elster is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and build self-esteem. He uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. Jason presents himself as calm and respectful, and he aims to make the first steps feel less daunting.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred approaches, and solution-focused ideas. That means sessions often look at patterns of thought and behaviour, and work on small, achievable changes.
Background and approach
He also brings mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas into conversations when they feel relevant. Jason helps people dealing with stress, depression, addiction and grief, along with relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports people with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to identity and sexuality.
Additional areas he addresses include chronic illness, codependency, communication problems and feelings tied to abandonment and shame. Sessions aim to be collaborative. Jason listens first, then helps clients try tools that suit their life.
He adapts the pace and focus to what each person needs and values. Jason is registered with NCPS, has four years of professional experience, and works from the United Kingdom. He offers sessions in English and welcomes people from other countries who prefer online working.
How Jason’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening carefully and shaping sessions around what the client needs. In practice this means conversations that follow your concerns, with the counsellor reflecting your priorities and helping you set goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. Online CBT work often includes practical exercises, thought records and small experiments you can try between sessions to see what changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jason will discuss options and try approaches collaboratively based on your goals and preferences. That means decisions about techniques and pacing are made together and can change as you make progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for more conversational work and exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat are helpful for short check-ins or when a written format feels better. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel and to keep contact between sessions when helpful.
