When Things Feel Overwhelming

Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, stress, loss, or simply feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward.

Counselling offers a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk openly about what’s going on for you. Together, we can explore what’s been weighing on you and work towards meaningful, positive change.

If this is your first experience of counselling, it’s completely natural to feel nervous. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

What people say​​

Rob
If you have any hesitation about booking to see Jason, then don't. He is beyond amazing, and he'll never judge you and can make sense of any problems you put towards him. After sessions with Jason I always left being able to see a clear picture and with a much better understanding of situations. It makes dealing with your issues feel so much more realistic. He will never put you on the spot or make you feel uncomfortable; in fact, it became the opposite. Talking about the toughest things I was experiencing almost became enjoyable. After Jason's help, I came through things I never believed to be possible and genuinely have had a better life because it. I would genuinely recommend him to anybody.
Claire
Thank you, Jason, for shedding light on a communication problem that had become a huge issue between my partner and me. Jason explained and shed light on what had become a destructive pattern for us. It was like having a light turned on,, and suddenly we were able to see clearly and understand the reasons why our relationship had become so difficult. With Jason's support and guidance my partner and I are now the strongest we have ever been. We understand each other and respect each other's differences and support each other emotionally. Jason has made such a huge difference to us in a relatively short time. Thank you again, Jason, for not only helping us but putting us at ease as soon as we met you. Thank you again x
Janet
We brought some communication problems and one big family issue to Jason after we had led ourselves into a situation where the more we dug, the deeper we found ourselves. Jason has been a refreshing balance of very effective guided reflection and observation, always non-judgemental but equally willing to help us see ourselves (both individually and as a couple) from a more detached perspective. From our experience, we would have no hesitation in recommending Jason to anyone who needs help in addressing and resolving personal or relationship issues. Thank you Jason, we really appreciate the work you did with us and the fact you made us feel so comfortable with the process from the very start.
Isabel
It had never occurred to me before seeing Jason how much my mental health had been compromised by my medical condition - I had been diagnosed with Vulvodynia 2 years previously - but after being referred to Jason by my GP I realised how much I had been affected. Jason has helped and guided me through one of the hardest, most difficult years of my life. His calm and open manner makes him so easy to talk to and connect with, allowing me to feel validated in how I felt for the first time in a very long time. Through the 7 months I saw Jason, he not only helped me to grow into a stronger, more stable person, but also helped my relationship flourish in ways I didn't realise it needed. If you have any reservations about exploring such deeply personal issues, don't. Suffering in silence is truly damaging, and seeing Jason finally allowed me to express how I was feeling in the healthiest, most productive way possible. Without his guidance, as cliche as it sounds, I'm not sure I'd have been able to grow into the woman I am today.

Excellent service, Jason was great at making me understand my problems. I learnt things that I was missing, like my sleep problem, which I was blind to. This was affecting many aspects of my life and Jason made me have routines that helped. He gave me great tips on other areas too, like exercises and things to help with stress. He improved my confidence a lot more and helped my relationship with my girlfriend and friends, too. I will use your service in the near future, you're excellent and very friendly. Thank you very much.

Frequently Asked Questions

I offer psychotherapy, young person (10 years+) therapy, psychosexual (sex) therapy, couples/relationship therapy, and EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), online and/or in person.

Therapy can help with a range of issues such as anxiety, stress, low mood, self-esteem, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties.

EFT tapping is a mind-body approach that combines focused attention with gentle tapping on acupressure points. To reassure I don’t touch you, I demonstrate the process and you apply the tapping element on yourself. It’s often used for stress, anxiety, trauma symptoms, and confidence.
