Jason Gillery
Calm, practical support for relationship and intimacy concerns
About Jason
Jason Gillery is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of professional experience. He combines many years in organisations and charities with independent practice work to support people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. He aims to make early conversations straightforward and down to earth.
Jason helps people talk through painful experiences such as trauma, sexual assault and family conflict. He also supports those dealing with intimacy concerns, sexual difficulties and complex feelings like shame or guilt that can follow these issues.
Background and approach
He has worked with people affected by cancer and those supporting someone with a diagnosis. He practises in an integrative way, drawing on a range of evidence-based techniques. That means he adapts the approach to suit each person rather than using one fixed method.
He focuses on practical steps alongside understanding the story behind the problem. Building a reliable working relationship is central to his approach. He says people are the experts in their own lives and brings tools to help them move toward the changes they want.
Sessions aim to be respectful, professional and non-judgemental. People who want clear, steady support for relationship, family or intimacy-related concerns often find his style helpful. He seeks to make the first steps less daunting and to offer steady guidance through difficult conversations.

Approaches that guide online work
Jason uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in an integrative way, adapting methods to the person and the issue at hand. One common strand focuses on understanding attachment and relationship patterns - looking at how early connections shape current communication and intimacy; this can help with commitment issues, avoidance and repeated conflict. Another element addresses trauma and abuse by pacing conversations, building coping skills and reducing overwhelming reactions so people can process difficult memories more safely. These approaches aim to be practical and gradual rather than rushed.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for sessions that aim to mirror face-to-face work, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, written reflections or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options add flexibility, help fit therapy around work or family life, and make it easier to continue regular contact when travel or schedules are difficult.
