Hi I'm Jake, I am a BACP accredited counsellor & have worked in mental health for over 16 years and for the last 11 years I have worked as a counsellor in the NHS & private practice. I offer both short term and long-term therapy, I work with adults over the age of 18 and to help make therapy more accessible I provide sessions either online or via telephone.
About me and my practice
My approach to therapy is termed Integrative. My training in this approach allows me to use elements of different theoretical modals to provide you with the therapy thats suites you and your needs. Key to my way of working is the Person-centred approach. This is one of the most well-known, clinically proven forms of therapy. Working in this modal puts you, the client at the heart of the therapy. The emphasis is looking at you as an individual rather than a depersonalized collection of diagnostic symptoms. Alongside the Person-centred approach, I also draw from Existential therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, and elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). These other modals can be helpful in exploring our place in the world, what choices we can make about life, looking at our childhood, what might be unconsciously impacting our lives and looking at some practical ways of helping our mental health.
Due to the level of my experience, I am also a qualified clinical supervisor, supervising other therapists in their practice. I work with many therapists in the NHS and private practice, helping therapists develop their skills, alongside ensuring safe, ethical therapy is being provided.
Alongside my work as a therapist & supervisor, I have an active interest in mens mental health. I advocate change of attitudes to mens mental health and regularly create content for my social media project: Get a Grip- Mens Mental Health.

Experience
As mentioned I have worked in mental health for over 16 years & for the last 11 years I have worked as a therapist. I have helped clients work through many different issues over the years and can help with issues such as: anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship problems, anger, sexual abuse, work stress, career problems, domestic abuse, long-term health issues, sexual problems & family issues.
Therapy is a truly amazing form of support that for many can often be life changing. I know from having therapy myself that it can & does change lives. It might not always be easy, but the rewards can be great. Heres just a few ways counselling with myself could help:
Build self-esteem & self-worth.
Improve relationships.
Help with life transitions.
Come to terms with loss.
Gain a deeper understanding of why you feel the way you do.
Understand why certain behaviours happen and why they might repeat.
To understand & challenge barriers that might be holding you back from fulfilling your potential.
To feel less isolated.
To be able to talk about things you feel you cant talk to others about.
To process trauma.
To feel less anxious and/ or depressed.

Initial Consultation
It can often feel daunting starting therapy, especially if this is your first experience of anything like this. Having had therapy myself I can identify with these feelings too.
I offer a 30min free consultation where I will ask you some information about your mental health and what you would like some help with. There will be no pressure to talk about things you don't want to discuss, we will work together in formulating how therapy with myself might help you best.
Also, please be rest assured there will be no pressure to make further appointments.
