Jason Elster works from a mix of solution-focused and cognitive behavioural approaches. He helps people tackle anxiety, low self-esteem and persistent worries so they can feel more confident in daily life. Jason uses practical steps alongside reflective conversation to find what is getting in the way of change.

He has four years of counselling experience and holds NCPS accreditation. He supports people dealing with depression, stress, addictions and trauma-related concerns as well as intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

He also addresses issues such as grief, anger, career stress and compassion fatigue. Jason pays attention to the roots of unhelpful thoughts and behaviours while also looking for small, achievable changes. Sessions blend skill building, goal-focused work and space to make sense of past patterns.

This mix aims to reduce distress and increase everyday coping skills. He works with a broad range of issues including ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic pain or illness, codependency and communication problems. Additional focuses include abandonment, avoidant and dependent personality traits, and challenges around commitment and control.

Jason describes his style as respectful and non-judgemental. He tailors conversation and plans to each person’s needs and pace. If someone feels unsure about starting, he encourages questions and offers practical guidance on next steps.

How Jason integrates therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard, build self-awareness and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple exercises to bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity, helping with stress and rumination.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jason will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people engage in therapy in a way that works for their life.
