Jason O'Flynn, BACP

Jason O'Flynn is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. He works with adults on issues such as trauma, depression, relationship strain and self-esteem. Jason also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, ageing and geriatric issues, and concerns linked to identity and intimacy.

Sessions begin with listening. Jason aims to make space for whatever is coming up so people can speak openly about what matters to them. He keeps the pace flexible and follows the person’s lead on how long to work together.

His practice is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means the focus is on the person rather than on a set plan. He also draws on ideas from compassion-focused work, mindfulness and cognitive approaches when these are helpful. That variety helps tailor the work to the issue at hand.

Jason has four years of counselling experience and holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has worked with a broad range of presenting issues, including addiction, sleeping and eating difficulties, ADHD and attachment-related concerns.

People coming to Jason can expect plain language and practical conversation. He aims to help people identify small, manageable steps and to notice what improves between sessions. International clients may be possible, so check session options when arranging a first appointment.

How client-centred practice translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. It means the counsellor listens closely, follows your lead and helps you make sense of what matters most. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, grief and relationship strain where personal exploration and steady support are needed.

Jason also brings elements of compassion-focused ideas and mindfulness into the conversation when helpful. Compassion-focused ideas help people respond to themselves with less harshness, which can be useful for shame, low self-esteem and burnout. Mindfulness techniques help with emotional regulation and calming when stress or intrusive thoughts are present.

Finding the right way to work is part of the process and the counsellor will collaborate with you to choose what fits best. That means discussing goals, preferences and practical needs together and adjusting the approach as the work progresses.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the current session options when booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit those who prefer not to use video, as different formats have different advantages.
