About Jason

Jason O'Flynn is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. He works with adults on common pressures of early adulthood such as anxiety, stress, relationships, career worries and feeling behind after university. He also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions and difficulties around intimacy and self-esteem.

Jason uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the individual and their experience. Sessions are conversational and aim to understand what matters to the client right now. He draws on ideas from other methods where helpful, including mindfulness and cognitive-based techniques, to offer different ways of thinking and coping.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns including family and parenting stress, LGBT-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD-related struggles, and anger or control issues. He also works with complex themes such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation and co-morbidity when they arise.

Jason encourages practical steps alongside reflective work. That may mean trying breathing or grounding exercises, testing out new ways to speak up at work, or practising different responses in relationships. Sessions move at a pace set by the person in front of him.

He accepts clients in the United Kingdom and also works with international clients in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site's online booking flow.

How Jason uses client-centred work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing outcomes and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach can be useful for anxiety, relationship worries and career doubts because it focuses on the client's priorities and pace.

Jason may also draw on mindfulness practices to help with stress and grounding. Mindfulness involves simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking. He sometimes introduces cognitive-based ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses in day-to-day situations.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Jason will work collaboratively to decide what helps most, adapting techniques to the person's goals and preferences. He checks in and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses so the plan remains relevant.

Session formats are not specified on the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full session would be difficult, and can support continuity for people living outside the UK who wish to work in English.
