About Jason
BACP. 4 years' experience. Jason O'Flynn works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, addictions, LGBT matters, family difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, depression, ADHD and related challenges.
Jason is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach. He listens and reflects to help people clarify what is causing them difficulty. Sessions focus on what clients want to change, and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
He has experience with a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, attachment and dissociation, as well as body image, codependency and commitment issues. He also works with less commonly discussed areas such as BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, and with people affected by caregiving stress or ageing-related worries.
In sessions Jason draws on client-centred methods alongside ideas borrowed from compassion-focused work, mindfulness, and cognitive approaches. He explains techniques plainly and shows how they can be used day to day. The emphasis is on clear, manageable tools rather than jargon.
People new to counselling will find short, direct explanations of what to expect. Jason offers a flexible time scale and will agree the pace with each person. He accepts international clients and runs sessions in English, with costs varying by location and using a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Client-centred practice and online counselling
Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens without directing and reflects understanding back. This approach helps people who need to make sense of emotions, relationships or life changes. Jason also draws on mindfulness practices. Mindfulness offers simple exercises to reduce stress and improve focus, which can help with anxiety, sleep and attention difficulties. He may use basic cognitive-based ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to test different ways of coping. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jason will discuss goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit the individual. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list explicit options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or study, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins or shorter appointments when needed. It can also make access simpler for people living abroad, provided scheduling and time zones are agreed in advance.Areas of expertise
