Jake McGee works from a client-focused, person-centred approach. He meets people where they are and listens first. Jake uses clear, practical steps to build motivation and confidence while respecting each person's story.

He has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. His background includes work in addiction settings and counselling with LGBT people, plus support for survivors of sexual abuse. That experience informs a steady, non-judgemental way of working.

Background and approach

Jake commonly helps with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem and motivation. He also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, anger, career uncertainty, and challenges linked to intimacy or sexuality. Addictions and process problems such as gambling or problematic porn use are within his focus.

Jake blends client-centred listening with practical methods. He is completing a Level 5 diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, so he may use CBT techniques alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas. Sessions aim to feel conversational and goal-orientated.

People can expect a respectful tone and tailored plans. Jake emphasises small steps that fit day-to-day life and the priorities someone brings to the room. He encourages people to take the pace that suits them.

How Jake uses practical therapies online

Jake works from a person-centred foundation, which means sessions begin with listening and the person's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and steers the work toward goals they care about.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns and trying small, practical changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is another method he uses to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change, especially around addictions or stopping unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as needs and goals become clearer. Collaboration helps keep sessions relevant and goal-oriented.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer brief written exchanges or need more flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life and help people access registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
