About Jake

Jake Freedman is a counsellor and psychotherapist with seven years of clinical experience. He holds a Master of Science in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related issues.

Jake uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to help people understand repeating patterns in their lives. Sessions often look at how early experiences shape current relationships, feelings and behaviours.

Background and approach

He pays attention to how problems like addiction, dissociation or panic show up day to day. His background includes five years delivering long-term psychotherapy to people with histories of addiction and childhood trauma. That work deepened his understanding of how adverse early experiences affect adult functioning and relationships.

He has also completed further training in developmental trauma and dissociation and follows current research in these areas. In sessions Jake aims to make unhelpful patterns clearer and more manageable. He listens for recurring themes and helps people put language to difficult experiences, such as depersonalisation or derealisation.

The goal is to understand what keeps problems going and to find practical ways to change them. Jake offers video, phone, live chat and text-based sessions, and works with international clients in English. New clients start by completing a short questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits their availability.

How psychodynamic and trauma-focused work translates online

Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeating themes and patterns in feelings and relationships. Online sessions let this work proceed through regular conversations that help make unconscious patterns clearer and easier to change. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past harm and on building ways to manage difficult memories and symptoms, such as panic or dissociation, in everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which method or combination feels most helpful. This collaborative process helps set realistic aims and a way of working that fits you.

Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits longer, face-to-face style work and fuller exploration. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for concise support, brief reflections or when writing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and circumstances.
