Jack De Saram greets clients with a calm, straightforward style. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. He also supports those dealing with relationship strains, intimacy concerns, addictions and anger.

Background and approach

Sessions use conversational, person-centred methods alongside other approaches tailored to each person. His work draws on psychodynamic ideas that look at links between past experiences and present feelings. Conversations may revisit memories and important relationships to make sense of recurring patterns.

He also uses mindfulness and client-centred techniques to help people notice thoughts and make changes in day-to-day life. Many sessions focus on practical next steps. That can include noticing unhelpful beliefs, trying different ways of responding, and building small habits that ease distress.

Jack aims to keep language plain and meetings focused so people feel heard and can move forward. People often begin by describing what feels most urgent. From there Jack helps set clear goals and checks progress each session.

He encourages steady work rather than quick fixes and adjusts the approach as needs change.

Using psychodynamic and client-centred ideas online

Jack blends client-centred work with psychodynamic thinking to help people understand present struggles and find workable steps forward. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s agenda so clients feel heard and can explore what matters. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and repeated patterns shape feelings today and helps uncover unhelpful beliefs that keep recurring.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jack collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and he adjusts the focus as progress is made. Clients can expect conversations that move between present difficulties and the memories or patterns that sit behind them.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping regular contact with a therapist.
