About Jason

Jason Willis is a UK counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has practised for 35 years. He works with adults who are wrestling with relationship and intimacy issues, questions about sexual orientation, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Jason also lists life purpose among his concerns. He has experience from both statutory and voluntary education settings, which gave him exposure to many different life situations. Sessions focus on calm, direct conversation about what is causing distress and what practical steps might help. Jason uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than a single fixed method. People contact him about a wide range of relationship matters. That includes difficulties with intimacy, communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues linked to attachment and abandonment. He also works with men’s issues, midlife concerns and questions about personal identity. Other areas he sees include body image, chronic pain or long-term illness, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. He helps people talk through impulsivity and control problems, and issues around forgiveness. Sessions are described plainly and without jargon. Jason aims to help clients clarify what matters to them and to consider small, practical changes they can try between appointments. To begin, people use the site process to match and book a first session.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Jason uses a variety of evidence-based techniques. One common approach is short-term, focused work that looks at current patterns of thinking and behaving and how they affect relationships and self-esteem. This helps when someone wants practical ways to change how they respond to difficult situations.

Another approach involves looking at attachment and relational patterns from a life span perspective. This helps people understand why they repeat certain relationship behaviours and gives a basis for trying new ways of relating. Both approaches are explained in clear, straightforward language during sessions so the person knows what to expect.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and then suggest methods to try. Decisions about technique are collaborative and can be adjusted as work progresses.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available formats before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, cut travel time and allow quicker access from different locations. Different formats can suit quieter check-ins, shorter goal-focused work or more in-depth conversations depending on the person’s day-to-day routine.
