About Jake

Jake McGee is a counsellor with five years of experience helping people through difficult moments. He works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. He focuses on motivation, self-esteem and confidence and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for conversation.

Jake draws on client-centred practice to shape sessions around each person's needs. He listens for what matters most and follows the pace set by the person in the room.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and focused, with attention to everyday steps that can make life easier. He has worked in LGBT-focused counselling and in a residential addiction setting. That experience includes supporting people affected by process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography, and helping those recovering from substance dependence.

He has also worked with survivors of sexual abuse and people affected by trauma and abuse. Jake uses a blend of approaches to suit different concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are part of his toolkit while he completes a Level 5 diploma in CBT.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy also inform short-term goal setting and behaviour change work. He helps with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, anger and career-related worry. Additional focuses include ADHD, compassion fatigue, HIV / AIDS related concerns, smoking or vaping cessation, and men’s issues.

Conversations are tailored to the individual and centred on practical steps. Jake encourages people to try small, manageable changes and to review progress together as therapy continues.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Jake combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with a client-centred way of working. Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to address the ongoing effects of past harm and helps people reduce distressing memories and reactions through structured, paced work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and shaping sessions around what the person needs in the moment, which helps establish trust and clarity about goals.

He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. CBT tools can support work on anxiety, low mood, compulsive habits and motivation by breaking problems into smaller parts and practising different responses between sessions. Together these approaches allow short-term goal setting as well as deeper trauma-aware work when needed, and he will discuss options with each person to decide what fits best.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a near face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are a good alternative when bandwidth is limited or when outings are short. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family life and other commitments.
