About Jake
Jake McGee works from a client-centred approach that puts the person at the heart of sessions. He draws on practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing to help people make real changes. Jake is Jake McGee BACP and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
He offers calm, non-judgemental conversations and focuses on what matters to each person. That can mean building motivation, boosting self-esteem, or finding ways to reduce stress and anxiety.
Background and approach
Jake adapts the pace and focus to match each client's situation and goals. His background includes work in addiction settings and residential treatment. He has supported people affected by sexual abuse and those seeking help with intimacy-related matters.
Jake also has experience with issues such as grief, anger, ADHD, depression, bipolar experiences, and compassion fatigue. Sessions look at practical steps as well as feelings. Cognitive behavioural tools are used alongside client-led listening to spot patterns and try new behaviours.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change and needs support to find reasons to act. Jake tailors conversations and plans for each person. He emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every session.
To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so people can meet when it suits them.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses structured exercises to try different ways of responding. CBT techniques can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress and some addiction-related patterns. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change by exploring their own reasons and boosting readiness to act.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. Jake will discuss goals, preferences and practicalities during early sessions and then shape the work together. He adapts techniques so they fit the person's pace and what they want to achieve.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family routines and travel.
