About Jason

Jason Shepherd is a counsellor with 18 years of practice based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and difficulties linked to trauma, addiction or self-esteem. He aims to make the first steps easier and treats each person with respect and sensitivity.

He takes a practical, conversational approach in sessions. He uses clear tools from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside ideas from motivational interviewing and narrative work.

Background and approach

That means people can expect down-to-earth techniques for managing symptoms and space to tell their story and make sense of difficult experiences. Jason has particular experience supporting LGBT concerns, bipolar mood issues, anger and coping with life changes.

He also helps with a wide range of related issues such as body image, codependency, family of origin difficulties and challenges tied to adoption and fatherhood. Clients often bring mixed concerns and he works with whatever is most pressing for the person in front of him. Sessions balance short-term goals with deeper reflection when needed.

He draws on solution-focused ideas to set practical steps and psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. Motivational techniques are used when clients want change around addiction or other behaviours. Jason speaks English and practices within the UK.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP.

Ways of working Jason names

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

How therapeutic approaches translate online

CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep problems going day to day.

Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for issues such as drug and alcohol use or other habits someone wants to shift.

Jason treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that fit. That could mean a short course of focused CBT exercises, motivational sessions to boost change, or a mix including narrative ideas to make sense of personal history.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is easier; live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins and people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and daily life.
