Jack De Saram
Gentle, reflective online psychodynamic counselling
About Jack
Jack De Saram works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addiction or anger. He is a BACP counsellor who offers online sessions and talks plainly about how past experiences can affect current feelings and behaviour. Jack aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.
Jack uses a psychodynamic lens to help people notice patterns that repeat across relationships and situations.
Background and approach
He often looks at memories and early experiences to find links with present-day reactions. Conversations may include identifying beliefs about the self and testing whether those beliefs still fit the person’s life. Alongside psychodynamic work, Jack draws on client-centred methods to keep the sessions person-led.
He also uses mindfulness practices to help people manage difficult emotions in the moment. These approaches are used together to match each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. He has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
Sessions are offered in English and held online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different preferences. People often come to him for issues linked to attachment, abandonment or fatherhood concerns, and for transition-related struggles such as divorce, life purpose and young adult challenges.
Jack focuses on helping individuals understand patterns and find small, practical changes they can try between sessions.

How Jack’s approaches translate to online therapy
Jack uses psychodynamic work to help people notice recurring patterns in relationships and behaviour, often by talking through past experiences and how they connect to today. This can help with issues such as attachment difficulties, grief and recurring relationship problems.He also integrates client-centred methods, which mean the person sets the pace and topics for sessions while the counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection. Mindfulness practices are used to develop simple ways of managing intense emotions and staying grounded between sessions.
Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. Jack will discuss different ways of working and adapt his style to the person’s goals and preferences, trying methods and checking in about what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and surroundings permit. Phone sessions need less data and can be a better fit for short check-ins or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need ongoing check-ins, or want to fit brief sessions around work or caring duties. Registered or accredited professionals provide these options so people can choose the format that best fits their life.
