About Jay
Jay Williams is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage anxiety and related concerns. He works with individuals and brings a calm, conversational style to sessions. Jay aims to help clients feel understood and start finding practical ways to cope.
He describes his work as psychodynamic counselling, which means conversations focus on past and present experiences and how they shape feelings today. These talks are used to uncover patterns that influence relationships, mood, and stress.
Background and approach
Jay also uses mindfulness ideas to help people notice thoughts and bodily feelings in the moment. Typical concerns he sees include stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self esteem, motivation and relationship difficulties. He also supports people facing change at work, sleep problems, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.
Additional areas listed include attachment, body image, codependency and issues around separation and blended families. Sessions aim to create space to talk through thoughts and emotions, and to try small practical steps between meetings. Jay keeps language straightforward and focuses on what feels relevant to each person.
He draws on five years of experience and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. People can expect a mix of reflective conversation and simple techniques that encourage clearer thinking and steadier moods. The work often moves at the client’s pace and is adjusted to fit their goals and life demands.
How psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches work online
Jay uses psychodynamic counselling to look at how past experiences and current patterns shape feelings and behaviour. In practice this means talking about memories, relationships and repeated reactions to make sense of emotional pain and stuck patterns. Mindfulness Therapy complements that work by teaching simple ways to notice thoughts and body sensations in the moment, which can help reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and focus.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Jay works with each person to agree what to try first, reviews progress, and adapts methods to match changing needs and goals. The aim is to find a pace and mix of talking and practical practice that feels right for the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can be easier when camera use is not wanted, and short messaging helps with quick check-ins or weekly support. These options help fit counselling around work, travel and family life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
