About Jason
Jason Elster is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people who struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, depression and relationship problems. He also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and identity.
He uses a solution-focused stance that draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred methods. In sessions he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and then tries out practical steps that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. He also brings mindfulness techniques to help with strong emotions and concentration.
Jason often explores how past experiences shape current beliefs and behaviour. He describes this part of his work in straightforward terms, helping clients talk through origins of shame, guilt and feelings of inadequacy. The aim is to make sense of those feelings so clients can choose different responses.
He works with a broad range of concerns, including neurodiversity-related issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, ADHD, and relationship dynamics like communication or commitment worries. He also addresses less-discussed areas such as BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture without judgement.
Sessions follow a conversational, respectful style. Jason adapts dialogue and plans to each person’s situation and priorities. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to set goals and agree the next steps.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centred work focuses on the conversation and on the person’s own concerns. The therapist listens and reflects, helping clarify priorities and personal strengths. This approach suits people who want to explore feelings such as shame or guilt and set the pace of sessions.Cognitive behavioural ideas are about noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. In practical terms this often means tracking patterns between sessions and trying small experiments to see what changes how someone feels. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and grounding exercises to manage strong emotions and reduce rumination.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides whether sessions lean more on reflection, skill practice or short-term problem solving.
The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals adapt their work to each person’s circumstances and goals.
