Jason Willis, BACP

Jason Willis is a counsellor with BACP registration and 35 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He has worked in statutory and voluntary education settings, gaining wide experience of different life situations. He helps people who are struggling with motivation, self-esteem, confidence and relationship concerns. He is also experienced supporting people exploring or questioning their sexuality, including LGBT concerns.

His style is respectful and down-to-earth. He listens first, then works with each person to set practical goals. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and on small steps that can make a day easier.

Jason deals with a wide range of issues linked to relationships and self-image. He helps with intimacy-related worries, communication problems, separation and grief around divorce, and feelings of isolation or shame. He also supports people facing chronic pain, illness or disability who are adjusting to life changes.

He pays attention to attachment and abandonment histories when they affect how people relate now. Work may explore control, impulsivity and patterns that keep problems repeating. Body image, guilt and forgiveness are other themes he addresses in sessions.

Sessions aim to be practical and personalised. Jason will help identify what matters most and suggest ways to practise different responses between appointments. He emphasises collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches inform online work

Jason uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach he uses focuses on understanding attachment and abandonment patterns to see how past relationships shape present behaviour; this can help with intimacy and repeated conflicts. Another approach addresses communication and behavioural patterns by helping people try different responses and rehearse them between sessions, which can reduce impulsivity and ease relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. It can also help people who live far from services or who want to continue with therapy while travelling. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and between-session tasks to suit remote working arrangements.
