About Jake

Jake Hook is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, trauma, relationship issues and questions about sexuality. He speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone under stress. Jake draws on a warm, relational style to help people talk through what is troubling them now and what has shaped those problems over time.

He offers straightforward help for panic, stress and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions can include practical coping strategies as well as talking about the events that started the problem. Jake pays attention to how attachment, past hurts and relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviour. Jake has volunteered for LGBTQ+ support services and has experience supporting people with gender dysphoria, sexual health concerns and identity questions.

His background includes work with adults and young people in charity settings, and he brings that experience into a calm, non-judgemental approach. Therapy may also cover topics such as addiction, eating concerns, sexual assault and abuse, intimacy and sexual functioning, and issues around self-esteem and life purpose.

Jake describes a collaborative pace and adapts the work to what each person needs at the time. He follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and takes part in ongoing professional development and supervision. Sessions are available in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How his psychodynamic and client-centred approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for building confidence, exploring self-esteem and working through relationship worries.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and time. It helps people notice how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. This style can be helpful for understanding trauma, attachment issues and long-standing emotional patterns.

Jake treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will discuss preferences, goals and how each method feels in practice. Together they decide on a pace and way of working that fits the person's needs and life circumstances.

Online therapy makes sessions easier to fit into a busy week. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, mood tracking or people who prefer writing rather than speaking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer all these formats, which supports flexibility and continued access to therapy when travel or time are a barrier.
