Jay Williams , BACP

Jay Williams is a psychodynamic counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). He works with individuals, couples and groups, bringing a thoughtful and exploratory approach to conversations about emotional life and personal challenges.

Psychodynamic work with Jay involves exploring past and present experiences along with inner thoughts and feelings to identify patterns that contribute to current difficulties. Through reflective dialogue he aims to help clients gain insight and a deeper understanding of themselves, which can open the way to relief from psychological pain and more meaningful, healing conversations.

He has experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, coping with grief and loss, low motivation, and issues around self-esteem and confidence. Jay applies psychodynamic perspectives to help clients make sense of their concerns and to work toward clearer personal understanding and change.

Bringing Psychodynamic and Mindfulness Work to Online Sessions

Jay Williams uses Mindfulness Therapy to help clients develop present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. This approach can be useful for managing anxiety, stress and difficulties with emotion regulation by teaching simple practices that support calm and clearer perspective.

He also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy, which involves exploring past experiences, internal patterns and relationship themes to uncover sources of recurring distress. This deeper exploration can help people understand how earlier experiences shape current feelings, behaviours and relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jay works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and personal preferences. He will discuss options and adapt the pace and focus of work so it feels aligned with each person’s situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or while travelling, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care even when meeting in person is difficult.
