Psychotherapy and Counselling
My name is Jason and I provide short and long-term counselling & psychotherapy with a therapeutic approach recognised as Transpersonal Psychotherapy. Transpersonal psychotherapy differs from clinical mind-centred therapies and is a powerful therapeutic approach that works with what we all possess; a mind, a body and a soul (or spirit), i.e. our “Psychology”.
Transpersonal Psychotherapy is a humanistic ‘you-centred’ approach and values equally all aspects of our ‘being’. Unlike most forms of psychotherapy that concentrate on improving mental health alone; transpersonal psychotherapy takes an equally thorough, yet more holistic approach in that it considers a much wider scope of mental, physical, spiritual, social, emotional, creative and intellectual needs; in equal merit, in order to support a client to reach a place of wholeness, balance, self-empowerment and individuation. Client work is an exploration of the ego-mind-body-soul dynamics and their influence on mental, emotional, physical and relational health and functioning.
Transpersonal Psychotherapy works with both the relative and absolute, the subjective and objective, the mind and the heart, the body and the soul and with ancient & traditional, Eastern and Western approaches to healing and transformation. The spiritual work is the awakening of a higher state of consciousness; the consciousness of the heart. The psychological work involves working with the experiences, emotions, feelings and belief systems which may help or hinder growth.
All aspects of ‘self’ need to be recognised explored and worked with if we are to heal deep issues and embrace who we are; if we are to live a life of more balance, wholeness and authenticity in order to promote healthier relationships with those we connect with and also a healthier relationship with our self. Such an approach may also consider existential implications such as the meaning and purpose of one’s existence; in addition to how societal conditions and pressures such as eco-anxiety, climate distress and expectations surrounding gender imposed stereotyping of roles, duties and obligations may affect one’s overall wellbeing.
Working collaboratively, we talk about what’s happening in your life and any changes you might want to make in order to heal and expand the quality of your consciousness and ‘being’; what might need to happen for you to feel more empowered to do this and ways to support and promote your ongoing emotional and holistic health and well-being.
What’s important is meeting your needs within our sessions together and that I’m professionally qualified and registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy).
Within my private counselling room I’ve got a wide range of art/creative/play materials that can be used within your sessions should you choose.
It’s important we both feel comfortable with each other and at our initial meet we can talk about what brings you to counselling and what you hope to achieve. I’ll answer as best I can any questions you may have ‘about me’ and we can decide if working together is going to be helpful for you. I can be contacted confidentially and without obligation, via SMS Txt, email or mobile to discuss what you would like to do next.
Reiki
As a qualified Reiki Master & Teacher, Epona Equine Reiki Practitioner and member of The Reiki Association, you may also wish to access this powerful yet gentle non-intrusive healing technique. Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing technique that can bring feelings of peace, centeredness and an ability to cope better with the challenges of life. It is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
As an Epona Reiki Practitioner I’m qualified to work with Horses and animals.

Healing Animals with Reiki
As an Epona Equine Reiki Practitioner I’m able to work with Horses & animals and Reiki. All animals take the energy they need to heal or relax and on no account does Reiki ever cause discomfort, pain or distress.
Reiki healing can be used alongside veterinary treatment as it does not in any way interfere detrimentally with the treatment. Reiki healing can also be used when an animal is dying as it seems to calm them and prepare them for their journey to the spirit world. When Reiki is done for a dying animal the owner can benefit greatly seeing how calm and at peace their beloved pet becomes and it can ease their grief and loss.

Shamanic Work & Healing
The word Shamanism can be used to describe the ancient spiritual practices of indigenous cultures and is a healing tradition based on the belief that everything is living, has a spirit and can be communicated with.
I study with the Northern Drum Shamanic Centre which is a UK-based educational organisation offering a renewed perspective on traditional and modern shamanic and medicine teachings.
The aim of shamanic healing is to restore a person to wholeness and balance. This ancient method works with the individual and the ‘spirit’ of that which needs healing to bring back a state of equilibrium to the body, mind and spirit. Working with the drum, rattle, feather and sacred herbs, the shaman becomes a ‘hollow bone’ and allows his or her spirit helpers to work through him or her. In sacred space and time, the shaman enables these healing energies to bring the highest good for the client. The process can be extremely powerful and transformative and at the same time nurturing and safe. (Chris Luttichau)
Some of the healing techniques we can work with are;
- Extraction/removal of misplaced & unhealthy energy that does not belong in the body and may cause illness.
- Clearing and cleansing the energy fields within and surrounding the body to increase a sense of balance and well-being.
- Soul Retrieval & Soul Extraction – recovering & mending parts of ‘self/soul’ that may have been damaged or lost.
- Healing fear patterns. Healing ancestral fear patterns.
- Space clearing. Cleansing and purification of houses, buildings, cars, boats, etc. that may contain unhealthy energy.
- Psychopomp; End of life support and supporting the souls of the dead to safely cross into the next phase of life so as not to stay as ‘wandering spirits’.
- Healing ancestral patterns of behavior and curses.
- Aligning & balancing energy centre’s / Chakras.
- Finding and retrieving your Power Animal.
- Long distance healing.
- Working with stones & plants to extract misplaced energy.
It’s important we both feel comfortable with each other and at our initial meet we can talk about what brings you to this approach to healing and what you hope to achieve. I’ll answer as best I can any questions you may have ‘about me’ and we can decide if working together is going to be helpful for you.
