Jason Gillery, BACP

Jason Gillery BACP is a counsellor and psychosexual practitioner based in the United Kingdom. He has 15 years of professional experience, including time in organisations, charities and private practice. He helps people talk about stress, anxiety, relationship problems and intimacy concerns in straightforward language. He is used to working with people who find sexual topics difficult to raise and aims to make that conversation easier.

Jason often meets people who feel shame, guilt or embarrassment about sex or closeness. He also supports those dealing with the emotional impact of cancer, family conflict, trauma and past sexual abuse. He listens for the practical problems behind distress and helps people identify small, manageable steps forward.

He works in an integrative way, drawing on a range of evidence-informed techniques and practical tools. This means sessions can include discussion, exercises and tasks tailored to what the person needs. The approach is collaborative and adjusted to fit each person rather than using a single method for everyone.

Building a reliable working relationship is central to his practice. Jason says that feeling comfortable matters before any real work can start. He aims to offer a non-judgemental, respectful atmosphere where people can say what they find hard to speak about.

People interested in starting can expect direct conversation about goals and next steps. The focus is on helping clients understand patterns, improve communication and regain confidence in intimacy and relationships.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Jason uses an integrative, evidence-informed approach that pulls together techniques suited to the person in front of him. One common strand focuses on practical skills for communication and problem solving, which helps people who are struggling with relationship breakdown, poor communication or commitment worries. Another strand looks directly at intimacy and sexual concerns, using structured conversations and exercises to reduce shame and rebuild confidence around sex and closeness.

Finding the right method is part of the work. He discusses options with each person and adapts the mix of techniques to match their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. This is a collaborative process where the client helps decide what feels useful and what to try next.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only conversations if video is difficult, or schedule sessions around work and caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can support the same kinds of therapeutic goals online as they do in person, and Jason will work with clients to find an approach that suits their everyday routine and aims.
