He has also provided counselling focused on LGBT concerns and has supported survivors of sexual abuse. Other areas he helps with include anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, anger, and career questions.

His practice also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, HIV and AIDS related matters, impulsivity, men’s issues, self-esteem, self-love, and smoking or vaping cessation. Jake aims to tailor sessions to each person’s situation and moves at a pace that feels right for them.

Ways of working Jake names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches adapted for online therapy

Jake uses Client-Centred Therapy to make sessions feel approachable and directed by the person’s concerns; this involves open listening, reflection, and tailoring conversations to each individual. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are offered alongside that core approach and focus on simple tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jake will discuss different ways of working together and choose methods that match the person's goals, needs, and preferences. This collaborative planning helps set realistic steps and keeps sessions focused on what matters most to the client.

Online therapy here is delivered by registered or accredited professionals using a mix of formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations, phone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth is needed, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and travel, and give practical flexibility for different day-to-day circumstances.
