About Jason
BACP. 35 years' experience. Jason Willis works with relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBT issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes. He practises a range of evidence-based techniques and describes his work in straightforward, practical terms.
Jason has spent decades working across statutory and voluntary education settings in the United Kingdom. That background shaped how he talks with people about relationships, sexuality and communication. He also brings long experience of helping clients deal with midlife questions, separation and the stresses of caregiving.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than abstract theory. Jason listens to what a person is finding difficult and helps them identify small changes to try between meetings. He works on intimacy and sexual concerns, body image, and problems that come from attachment and abandonment experiences.
He also supports people facing chronic pain, illness or disability to think through the practical and emotional effects these have on everyday life. Issues such as guilt, shame, impulsivity and isolation are discussed plainly and directly, with an emphasis on communication and problem solving.
Jason aims to help people increase self-confidence and improve how they relate to others. He can assist those questioning or exploring their sexual identity, and he addresses men's issues and life-purpose concerns in straightforward language.
To begin he asks about your current situation, what you want to change and what would feel useful next. From there he and the client decide how to work together and set practical goals for therapy.
Approaches used and how online counselling fits
Jason practises evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behaviour and relationships. One common approach helps people identify patterns in their relationships and communication, and then practise different ways of reacting. This can be useful for intimacy difficulties, attachment problems and communication breakdowns. Another approach looks at practical coping skills for mood and stress, teaching short exercises and tasks to try between sessions to build confidence and reduce impulsive reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client, consider the person’s goals and preferences, and agree a way of working that feels appropriate. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed package.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family commitments and health needs. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time so appointments are simpler to schedule.
