Hello, I’m Jake and I’m an Integrative Humanistic Counsellor. I trained at CPPD London, on its BACP-accredited, Advanced Diploma in Integrative Humanistic Counselling.
I believe that therapy is a powerful way to heal the hurt, pain and trauma from your life and help you cope with what’s going on in the here and now. I like to work relationally and creatively with a focus on solutions and coping mechanisms to things like panic and anxiety, but at the same time, working with you to find out what causes the panic and anxiety in the first place.
Before my graduation, I was a volunteer counsellor for the LGBTQ+ helpline, Switchboard, for over 5 years and with the charity, Talkzone. I have worked with children, young people, and adults. Together we will help you (and your partner if working in couples counselling) to explore old scripts, attachment styles and work to understand why we do the things we do.
I believe that when we understand the things that we do and why we do them, we can come to a place of change or find happiness in acceptance.
Through my practice, I work collaboratively with those who are living with a range of challenges and issues including childhood traumas, bullying, anxiety, depression, sexuality, sexual health issues, gender dysphoria, trust issues, men’s issues and relationship woes with careful and gentle exploration to find a pace and counselling style that best works for you.
I also offer couples and relationship therapy, and I am keen on facilitating honest and explorative communication between partners.
As a member of the BACP, I adhere to its ethical framework, engage in regular supervision, and participate in numerous continuous personal development studies (CPD).

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and life transitions – online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. It provides a flexible option for accessing support without needing to travel to appointments.
One major benefit is adaptability. People can connect with their therapist in the way that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to balance therapy with work, family and other commitments.
Licensed professionals deliver care remotely, and if someone decides a different therapist would be a better fit they can change at any time. For many individuals, online therapy offers practical access to consistent support and tools to manage everyday difficulties.
