About Jason
Jason O'Flynn is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and a range of other concerns such as parenting, intimacy-related issues, addictions and LGBT matters. He also notes support for issues like sleep and eating difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and coping with life changes.
He describes a person-centred way of working that starts with listening. Sessions focus on what is coming up now and the reasons behind it. That may mean talking through past events that are returning to view, or dealing with the pressure of day-to-day life at home.
Jason uses a gentle, conversational style. He draws on person-centred practice and borrows ideas from mindfulness, cognitive approaches and compassion-focused ways of working. These are used as tools to help clients reflect and make practical changes rather than as labels or tests.
People can expect sessions paced to their needs. The length or frequency of work is set with the adult client, and the counsellor aims to follow the rhythm that suits them best. The focus is on clearer thinking, managing distressing feelings, and improving how everyday relationships feel.
He accepts international clients and offers work in English. To start, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session through the platform's booking flow. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the person make sense of feelings and choices. This approach suits worries such as relationship strain, grief, anxiety and parenting stress because it starts from the adult's priorities and pace.Mindfulness-based ideas may be used to help reduce reactivity and notice bodily signals when anxiety or anger rise. Simple breathing and grounding practices can support calmer responses in daily life. Cognitive-style techniques might be used for practical problem solving, for example to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative ways of responding.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods to try, based on their goals and preferences. Sessions can adapt as those needs change over time, with regular check-ins about what is and isn't useful.
The therapist's profile does not specify which session formats are offered online. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy home life and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and different ways of working that can slot into a parent or carer's day.
