About Jason

Jason Brooker is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience focusing on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, eating concerns and depression. He speaks English and works with adults who bring personal and interpersonal difficulties for talk-based therapy.

Jason begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of him. Sessions are client-centred with practical discussion and moments of reflection. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness practices and psychodynamic ideas alongside trauma-focused work to address current problems and their background.

In practice he helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, learn skills for managing panic and anxiety, and practise mindful ways of noticing emotions. He also supports people wrestling with body image, eating and compulsive behaviours, and with sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink when these are part of the issue.

When trauma or abuse is present he blends trauma-focused methods with a steadier, exploratory approach to help people feel able to talk through difficult memories. He offers straightforward strategies for anger and stress that can be used between sessions.

Sessions are conversational and aim to be clear about goals and next steps. To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so the first meeting can focus on what the person most wants to address.

How he uses different approaches in online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and experience, using open listening and reflection to help people name what matters and decide on goals. This approach helps when someone needs to sort out feelings or make choices about relationships and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, panic, obsessive behaviours and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention skills and ways to notice sensations and emotions without immediately reacting; it can help with stress and rumination.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss different methods, try options in early sessions and adjust the plan based on how the person responds and what they want to achieve.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific delivery methods are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also permit using audio-only or video options where that suits the person, which can help with concentration, reduced bandwidth needs, or quicker meetings.
