About Jay

Jay Williams is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and grief. He speaks plainly and listens for patterns that feel stuck. People come to him when life changes, relationships fray, or sleep and motivation suffer.

He uses psychodynamic counselling to talk through past and present experiences. That work looks at how earlier relationships and memories shape current feelings and reactions. It can help people notice repeated patterns and find new ways to respond.

Background and approach

Jay also uses mindfulness therapy to bring attention into the moment. Simple breathing and noticing exercises help reduce overwhelm and improve sleep. These practices are offered alongside conversation rather than replacing it.

With five years of experience, he has supported people with depression, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD concerns, and identity questions including LGBT issues. He also works with relationship and family problems, career uncertainty, anger and loss. Jay aims to make space for whatever feels most urgent to the person in front of him.

Sessions can explore feelings, memories and everyday behaviour. Jay is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He offers help in English and accepts international clients for online work.

Ways of working Jay names

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

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jay draws on psychodynamic counselling and mindfulness therapy to guide online work. Psychodynamic counselling involves talking about past and present experiences to notice patterns that influence current feelings. It can help when repeated reactions to people or events keep causing distress.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep. These short exercises are used alongside discussion to help people stay calmer between sessions and notice triggers more clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jay will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide whether more reflective psychodynamic work, mindfulness practices, or a mix suits the situation. The choice can change as progress is made and needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people read body language and hold longer conversations, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and text or chat is useful for brief check-ins or low-bandwidth situations. This range helps people fit therapy around work, travel or different daily demands.
