About Jason
Counsellor and BACP member, Jason Brooker has 10 years of professional experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, eating concerns and depression. He offers straightforward support to people who are finding day-to-day life hard to manage. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom.
Jason keeps sessions direct and conversational. He listens to what feels most urgent and helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating. He uses practical tools where they help, and he also talks about deeper feelings and early experiences that may shape current reactions.
Client-Centred Therapy is part of his work, which means the person’s perspective guides the pace and focus of sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, known as CBT, is also used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. Jason draws on psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused approaches when past events keep affecting the present.
People who come to him for relationship or communication problems often work on clearer boundaries and better ways of talking about feelings. For issues such as panic, OCD patterns or intense shame, sessions combine understanding and practical coping strategies. He also supports those dealing with body image, sexual subcultures such as BDSM and related communication or attachment questions.
He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before the first session. That helps plan an initial meeting and makes the most of early appointments. If you want to proceed, follow the guided steps to arrange the first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Jason mixes Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred work means the person sets the pace and what matters most is explored with respect. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes to reduce distress. These two approaches suit issues like anxiety, relationship problems and low mood.He also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect current life. That approach looks at how traumatic experiences influence feelings and reactions, and helps build coping strategies alongside understanding. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process between therapist and client, shaped by the client’s goals and how they prefer to work.
