About Jacob
Jacob Mason is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. Jacob also addresses issues such as self-esteem, intimacy-related problems and coping with life changes.
He uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's perspective first. Sessions focus on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of him. Jacob works in a non-directive way, offering reflections and questions rather than giving instructions.
Alongside person-centred work he draws on solution-focused methods. That means sessions often aim to identify small, realistic steps people can try between meetings. The emphasis is on what is already working and how to build on it.
Jacob is used to helping people talk through sensitive topics such as trauma, sexual orientation concerns, gender dysphoria, addiction-related behaviours and issues around intimacy and trust. He keeps sessions straightforward and practical, helping clients find ways to manage symptoms and make everyday life feel more manageable.
For someone worried about starting therapy, Jacob explains the process clearly and helps set simple goals early on. He asks about what a good session would look like for each client and checks in regularly about how things are going.
Working online with person-centred and solution-focused methods
Jacob uses person-centred work and solution-focused techniques that translate well to remote sessions. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens closely to what matters to the client and responds without directing the conversation, which can help when exploring feelings about social situations or identity. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and what already helps, which many people find useful when managing anxiety or relationship problems.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jacob discusses goals and preferences with each client and adjusts the style as therapy progresses. The therapist and client decide together what feels most helpful, and review progress at regular intervals.
