Jason Ebanks

Jason Ebanks is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. He works with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and supports people who are coping with grief and loss. Jason practices with respect, sensitivity and compassion and aims to tailor conversations to each person’s needs.

With four years of experience in the United Kingdom and a BACP credential, he draws on a mix of practical methods. He commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting space, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help break unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. He also includes elements from psychodynamic ideas and Motivational Interviewing when they fit a person’s goals.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. Jason listens first, then works with clients to agree what to try next. That might include looking at relationship patterns, addressing attachment concerns, or finding ways to cope with overwhelming emotions after loss.

He also offers support around a wide range of specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiving stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and themes of guilt and shame. Jason is mindful of individual circumstances and adapts his approach to what feels most useful for each person.

If someone is thinking about therapy, Jason encourages a simple first step of reaching out and completing a short matching questionnaire. From there he helps schedule an initial conversation and agrees a plan tailored to the person’s circumstances and aims.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Jason often blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support people online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful space where the person leads the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical ways to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those aims. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Online work can also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins when needed or to use audio-only conversations if that suits someone better.
