About Jason
Jason Elster is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of experience. He works with people who struggle with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. He also offers support for addiction, grief, trauma and issues linked to intimacy and sexual expression.
Jason uses a solution-focused way of working that draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and humanistic, client-centred ideas. He helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and looks at practical steps that can change daily routines and responses. Conversations are direct but respectful, and aim to build confidence over time.
He sees problems that appear in both personal and work life, including difficulties with communication, commitment and feelings of inadequacy. Jason also works with people who want support around ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and a range of interpersonal issues such as codependency and boundary concerns.
Sessions begin by identifying what matters most to the person and setting short-term, achievable goals. Jason uses simple exercises from CBT alongside reflective, client-centred discussion to test new ways of thinking and acting. He favours practical tasks you can try between sessions to see what helps.
People often come for help after a major life change, a relationship split or when anxiety and low mood start to affect work or study. Jason welcomes questions before booking and will explain the process, expected focus and how progress is reviewed as therapy continues.
How Jason’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs clearer thinking about feelings, values and decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses short exercises to test alternative ways of responding to stress and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as sessions progress so it fits the person's needs.
Please confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work and travel schedules. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight and let people join from wherever is most practical for them. Registered or accredited professionals can work collaboratively to make sessions suit everyday life without changing the clinical aims.
