He also supports clients working on motivation, self-esteem and confidence, offering a space to discuss challenges and try new ways of responding. Jay is registered with the BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Psychodynamic and Mindfulness Approaches Delivered Online

Mindfulness Therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness through gentle attention to thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. It can be a practical way to reduce reactivity and build coping skills for stress, anxiety and difficulties with sleep by learning to observe experience without immediate judgement.

Psychodynamic Therapy invites exploration of past relationships and inner patterns to understand how earlier experiences influence current emotional life and behaviour. This approach is useful for people who want deeper insight into recurring difficulties such as relationship problems, low self-esteem or long-standing mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jay Williams will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape the pace and focus of sessions so therapy feels purposeful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging - making it easier to access support from different locations and to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments. Registered professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and to offer timely, responsive support.
