About Jay

Jay Williams is a psychodynamic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. He also offers support for career concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain and challenges linked to identity and LGBT issues.

Jay frames sessions around open conversation. He will talk through your thoughts and feelings, and look at how past experiences connect to the present. That work aims to increase understanding of patterns that cause pain and to build new ways of coping.

Background and approach

In sessions Jay combines psychodynamic ideas with mindfulness techniques. Psychodynamic work explores inner thoughts and early relationships to find meanings behind emotional responses. Mindfulness practices bring attention to the present moment and help reduce reactivity to difficult feelings.

He has five years of practice experience and carries BACP as his listed professional credential. Jay offers therapy in English and accepts international clients, working with people who want either short-term focused help or longer conversations about life changes. Sessions can include talking therapy alongside simple mindfulness exercises.

The approach is conversational and reflective rather than prescriptive. Jay aims to help people feel more understood and to develop tools they can use outside sessions.

Ways of working Jay names

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

Psychodynamic and Mindfulness online

Jay uses psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches to guide online work. Psychodynamic therapy involves talking about your past and current relationships to find patterns that shape your feelings and reactions; this can help with anxiety, grief and repeating relationship problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce stress and make emotions easier to notice without immediately reacting; it can be useful for sleep issues, stress and low mood.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. Jay will discuss your goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt the mix of psychodynamic conversation and mindfulness practices to what helps you most. That collaboration continues as progress is made and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, shorter sessions or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
