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).

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
