About Jason

Jason O'Flynn is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He supports people with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, addictions and a wide range of other issues. Jason works with adults who are new to counselling as well as those returning to it and aims to make first steps straightforward.

He uses a person-centred style that focuses on what matters to each person. Sessions typically involve talking through recent events, feelings and patterns, and noticing what gets in the way of feeling better. Jason draws on ideas from compassion-focused work, mindfulness and cognitive approaches to offer practical ways to manage distress.

Clients often come with problems such as sleep and eating difficulties, problems with self-esteem, anger, or difficulties around sexuality and identity including LGBT concerns. He also supports people dealing with parenting stress, caregiver strain, career setbacks, ADHD-related struggles, and grief after loss.

Jason is comfortable addressing complex or overlapping issues like attachment and abandonment, dissociation, codependency, control issues and some personality-related patterns. He can talk through how past experiences link with current reactions and help people find steadier ways of coping.

Sessions begin with a short assessment to understand goals and preferences. From there he and the client agree on a working pace, whether short-term or open-ended. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.

How Jason's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. It involves the counsellor listening closely, reflecting what is said, and supporting the client to explore their own thoughts and feelings. This approach is useful for anxiety, relationship concerns and grief because it focuses on what the person finds most pressing.

Jason also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice and settle their immediate reactions. These are short exercises and breathing or grounding techniques that can be practised between sessions to reduce stress. He may draw on cognitive ideas to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The counsellor discusses goals, preferences and any practical needs in early sessions and adjusts methods over time in collaboration with the client.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for a quieter check-in during a work break, or offer alternatives when travel is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises for remote sessions and suggest ways to practise techniques between meetings.
