About Jason

Jason O'Flynn is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with adults who are under stress, dealing with anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, addictions and codependency among other issues. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.

Jason keeps things straightforward in sessions. He listens without rushing and lets people say what matters most. He pays attention to how patterns in relationships and everyday life affect mood, sleep, focus and self-esteem. Practical steps and simple reflections are used alongside longer conversations when those feel helpful.

His core approach is client-centred therapy. That means the person in the room guides the pace and the topics. Jason also draws on ideas from compassion-focused work, mindfulness and cognitive approaches when they fit a person's needs. These are used to help with anxiety, intrusive memories, urges linked to addiction, and difficulties saying no.

People often come because they feel overwhelmed by other people's needs or because past events keep returning. Jason will help name those patterns and look at small, manageable changes. He also supports people coping with life transitions such as career moves, bereavement or caregiver strain.

Sessions are arranged through an online matching and booking process. The first step is a short questionnaire and then a scheduled session. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, clarification and following the person's concerns. Online sessions using this approach let the client lead the topics while the counsellor reflects and asks questions that help people see how their patterns affect day-to-day life. This suits worries about relationships, anxiety, grief and codependency patterns.

Mindfulness and cognitive ideas are often used alongside client-centred work. Mindfulness offers simple attention exercises to reduce rumination and calm the nervous system. Cognitive techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and test them in small steps. Together these approaches address intrusive memories, low mood and difficulties saying no in relationships.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical constraints and agree a plan together. That means experimenting with short check-ins, longer weekly sessions or using brief practical exercises between sessions to see what works best.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel, allowing sessions around work or caregiving, and offering shorter or longer meeting times to match everyday rhythms.
