Jason Elster
Helping reduce anxiety and build stronger self-esteem
About Jason
Jason Elster is a counsellor who focuses on helping people reduce anxiety and build self-esteem. He combines practical, solution-focused work with talking through where unhelpful thoughts and habits start. Jason aims to make sessions straightforward and usable for everyday life.
He is registered with NCPS and practices from the United Kingdom. Jason uses a blend of approaches that includes cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred listening. That mix helps people notice thought patterns, try small changes, and shape new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aim to create clear next steps rather than abstract theory. Many people come to Jason for stress, anxiety, low mood, and work-related pressures. He also helps with relationship concerns, grief, addiction-related issues, and challenges around intimacy and self-worth.
His wider interests include ADHD, chronic health struggles, codependency, and communication problems. Jason describes his style as respectful and non-judgemental. He adapts the conversation and plan to what each person needs.
Practical tools, reflective exploration, and goal-setting often form the core of his work. He accepts international clients and offers sessions that suit different lifestyles and schedules. Jason encourages anyone feeling stuck to take a small step and ask a question about how counselling could fit their situation.

How different approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and time to work through feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan if something is not working, so the process stays collaborative and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions let people see facial cues and use visual tools, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking, making it simpler to keep continuity between appointments.
