About me
Hi, my name is Jason. I practice as an Integrative Counsellor. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work with all adults (18 & over).
I offer you a supportive and kind space to experience healing, change and to help you explore whatever it is you are experiencing. I aim to help you work towards whichever direction you want to go. You are the focus in our work together.
Much of my work often involves supporting people with depression, stress, life changes, relationships, self-worth, self-exploration, and identity. My special interests include, but are not limited to, working with loss and grief, and depression.
Ultimately, and, I think, most importantly, I am interested in the human experience and being with people.
I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you explore whatever you are experiencing. Our work together will be confidential. We will listen with each other to each other.
I think my profile risks being read as a bit ‘cold’ - I hope that when we have had a chance to talk, you might realise that it doesn’t reflect the entirety of my personality. Please do ask any questions that you need to.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling.
The therapeutic approaches that influence my work the most are the Person Centred Approach, Gestalt Therapy, and Existential Therapy.
I have additional training in loss and grief:
- Pluralistic Counselling for Loss and Grief
- Training for Bereavement Counselling Course with Dr John Wilson, PhD.
My integrative approach is built on the view that counselling is a collaborative process; it is a conversation that makes a difference beyond the space in which it occurs.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Drawing from my training and personal interest in existential therapy and philosophy, sometimes our work could be to help explore the big questions of life - what is your purpose? What gives your life meaning? What makes it all worth it? The big and bold questions can be exciting to explore together.
In previous careers, I have worked with horses (as a groom, rider, and coachman) and more recently in the funeral profession. My interests also include people who work in these fields.
I have experience of working with autistic people. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally.

Further information
When we meet, I do not meet an issue, a problem, or a diagnosis; I meet a human being. I work to create a feeling of safety so that you can feel and express your internal experience. I specialise in listening calmly and deeply to what is said and what is not said. Through discussion and exploration, I work with you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
