About Jason
Jason Elster is a counsellor (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with people who struggle with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. He also supports those dealing with grief, addictions, trauma and issues around intimacy and identity.
Jason uses a solution-focused mindset alongside cognitive behavioural tools and client-centred ideas. He helps people notice the thoughts and habits that keep them stuck and then explores practical steps to change them. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than heavily didactic.
He often works with concerns tied to family dynamics, communication problems, codependency and chronic feelings of guilt or shame. Jason will also address issues linked to ADHD, chronic illness, sexuality and alternative sexual cultures when clients raise them.
His approach begins by listening to what feels most urgent and then agreeing short-term goals. Tasks between sessions may include experimenting with new ways of thinking, small behavioural changes, or mindfulness exercises. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can be adjusted.
Jason offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. He asks prospective clients to use the online matching process to book a first appointment and to check which session formats are currently offered before scheduling.
How sessions work
How Jason blends approaches for online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm in day-to-day life. Finding the right fit is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on the client's goals and preferences. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so the approach matches what proves most helpful. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or making it simpler to attend from another location. Jason asks clients to use the platform matching process to choose a session time and to discuss any practical needs at the first appointment.Areas of focus
