Jason Brooker
Compassionate, practical support for stress and trauma
About Jason
Jason Brooker welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or big life changes. He aims to make starting therapy simple and approachable. Jason is a BACP counsellor with ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
He helps people talk through relationship worries, anger, addictions, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also supports clients with eating and body image concerns, obsessive thoughts, panic attacks and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Background and approach
Jason pays attention to how attachment, codependency and communication problems shape everyday life. In sessions he uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches. That can include client-centred work to explore what matters to the person, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to manage stress.
He also draws on psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. People can expect calm, plainspoken conversation and practical steps to try between sessions. Jason focuses on building a trusting working relationship and on setting realistic, short-term goals.
He aims to help people feel steadier and more able to handle day-to-day pressures. To begin, he asks a few simple questions to understand the situation and what the person wants from therapy. From there he works collaboratively to choose the right mix of approaches and to plan the next appointments.

How Jason blends approaches and online sessions
Client‑centred work puts the person's own goals and feelings at the heart of therapy. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person notice what matters most to them. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to make sense of their experience.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention skills and breathing practices that can reduce stress and improve calm in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jason will discuss options, try different methods and agree on goals together. The mix of approaches can change over time as needs shift and progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and seeing non-verbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a work break. Live chat and text messages allow shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
