Jack is a psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has four years of experience working with people online and by phone. He helps with a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, anger and intimacy-related issues.

In sessions Jack draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at thoughts, feelings and past memories that shape current behaviour. He also uses client-centred listening so people feel heard and understood. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are woven in to explore meaning, presence and everyday choices.

Conversations are practical and reflective. Jack helps people spot repeating patterns - for example around attachment, abandonment or social anxiety - and then work out small experiments to try in life. He also supports those facing divorce, fatherhood questions or a search for life purpose.

Therapy can be done via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and helping a person feel understood. It centres on the individual's experience and helps people talk through difficult feelings without being judged. Psychodynamic work looks at how past memories and repeated patterns influence current thoughts and behaviour, which can be useful for issues like attachment, abandonment and unresolved grief. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and make it easier to manage anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit their needs and goals. That means trying things out together, checking what helps most, and adjusting the focus as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expressions and body language, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it simpler to attend sessions from different locations and to match the way someone prefers to communicate.
