Jake Hook

Jake Hook is an Integrative Humanistic Counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He trained at CPPD London on its BACP-accredited Advanced Diploma in Integrative Humanistic Counselling.

Jake believes therapy can be a powerful way to address hurt, pain and trauma while helping people cope with the challenges of the present. He works relationally and creatively, pairing practical coping strategies for issues like panic and anxiety with exploration of the factors that contribute to those symptoms.

Prior to qualifying, Jake volunteered for over five years as a counsellor with the LGBTQ+ helpline Switchboard and also with the charity Talkzone. He has worked with children, young people and adults and supports those experiencing childhood trauma, bullying, anxiety, depression, sexuality and sexual health concerns, gender dysphoria, trust issues and men’s issues.

Through his practice Jake also helps people with addictions, eating difficulties, bipolar disorder, anger, self-esteem challenges and career-related stress. He offers couples and relationship therapy, facilitating honest and exploratory communication while examining attachment styles and old relational scripts to find constructive ways forward.

As a member of the BACP, Jake follows its ethical framework, takes part in regular supervision and continues his professional development through ongoing CPD activities.
