Jason Willis, BACP

Jason Willis has worked as a counsellor for 35 years and holds BACP accreditation. He combines long experience with practical, down-to-earth support for people facing relationship and identity questions. Jason's practice grew from roles in both statutory and voluntary education, where he learnt to listen to many different needs and life stories.

He focuses on relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Jason also offers help around LGBT matters and supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds and body image. Many come to him when relationships or sexual issues are causing confusion or distress.

Jason aims for clear, straightforward conversations that get to the heart of what matters. He works collaboratively to set simple goals and uses approaches backed by evidence to guide sessions. The emphasis is on practical steps clients can try between meetings, and on building confidence to make changes.

People often bring fears about shame, guilt, or isolation, and Jason gives space to talk about those feelings without hurry. He also supports carers managing stress and the practical strain of long-term caring roles. His style is calm and respectful, with attention to what each person needs right now.

To begin, he asks about your situation and what you hope to change. That helps shape a plan that fits your life and priorities, with room to adjust as you go.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Jason uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people untangle relationship and intimacy concerns and to rebuild self-esteem. One common approach focuses on improving communication and understanding between people, helping clients recognise patterns and try new ways of relating. Another approach addresses attachment and abandonment issues by looking at early relationship patterns and how they affect current feelings, which can reduce anxiety about closeness and distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular contact when life is hectic or when someone is living abroad, since international clients are accepted. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking to make sure they suit your routine and technology. Online sessions can support steady progress while fitting into everyday life.
