About Jay

Jay Williams works with people who are feeling stuck, anxious, low or overwhelmed. He welcomes straightforward conversations about grief, stress, relationships and self-esteem. Jay's short, practical sessions aim to help people find small changes that make daily life easier.

He is a BACP counsellor, which means he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jay has five years' experience supporting people through loss, life changes and depression.

Background and approach

He also helps with career worries, parenting strain, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. Jay uses psychodynamic ways of working to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. That approach is about talking through memories and recurring reactions so people can understand why they might be stuck.

He also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with anxiety and stress by focusing on the present moment and gentle breathing exercises. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person's needs. Jay aims to make the room a place to notice patterns, try different responses and build confidence.

He can work with relationship concerns and many forms of trauma or abuse while helping people manage daily demands. Jay offers sessions in English and accepts clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines and schedules.

How Jay's approaches work online

Jay uses psychodynamic conversation and mindfulness exercises to help people understand patterns and reduce immediate distress. Psychodynamic work focuses on talking about past and present experiences to uncover recurring feelings and relationship patterns, which can help explain why certain problems keep returning. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and make it easier to manage anxiety and sleeplessness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jay will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide whether to focus more on reflective psychodynamic work, mindfulness practice, or a mix of both. The aim is to tailor sessions so they make sense for your everyday life and fit what you hope to change.

Online sessions use video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to attend from work, while travelling or around family commitments.
