Jason Brooker, BACP

Client-centred work puts the person's experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens carefully and follows the concerns the person brings, helping them name feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for building trust and for people who want a supportive space to talk.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours. It often uses practical exercises and simple skill building, which translate well to remote sessions and written follow-ups. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, panic and obsessive thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jason will work collaboratively to pick methods that match the client's needs, goals and comfort level. That might mean starting with client-centred listening, adding mindful techniques, or using trauma-focused ideas if past events are central to the problem.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and daily demands.
