Jason Gillery, BACP

Jason Gillery is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of professional experience. He has spent time working in charities and organisations as well as in independent practice. Jason aims to make it easier to talk about difficult subjects and to find practical ways forward.

He works with people facing stress and anxiety and those dealing with relationship and family difficulties. He also supports people with trauma and abuse and with intimacy-related concerns. Jason has experience helping people who are affected by cancer, either as the person with the diagnosis or as someone supporting a loved one.

Jason uses an integrative approach, drawing on different theories and tools to suit each person. He believes the client is the expert on their own story and looks to build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication as much as on understanding feelings.

He pays attention to the relationship that develops in therapy and aims to make the first steps less daunting. Jason offers a non-judgemental, professional space where people can discuss sensitive topics such as intimacy, sexual concerns, and family of origin issues.

Over his career he has worked across organisations and independent settings, which shapes a flexible style. He encourages straightforward conversations about goals and progress, and tailors methods to what each person needs.

Approaches that guide online work and how they help

Jason describes his practice as integrative and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet different needs. One approach he commonly uses is structured, goal-focused work that helps with communication problems, commitment worries, and managing anxiety by breaking issues into manageable steps. Another strand involves trauma-informed ways of working that help people make sense of past hurts and reduce their impact on day-to-day life.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Jason collaborates with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, history and preferences. He will adjust pacing and tools as therapy progresses so the work matches what feels most useful to the client.

The original biography does not spell out which online formats are offered, so please confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people focus on verbal work without needing to be on camera, or choose setups with lower bandwidth when internet connections vary. Registered or accredited professionals can work effectively this way, and the practical aim is to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than demand extra time.
