About Jay
Jay Cook is a UK-based counsellor who uses a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. He draws on five years of experience to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of their next steps. Jay aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can speak honestly and be heard.
He works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and low self-esteem. He also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, career concerns and the practical impacts of life change. Jay lists work around LGBT issues and ADHD among his focus areas.
Jay combines practical talking therapy with methods that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to match tools to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on changes that matter day to day.
He holds NCPS as a credential and has worked with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds and locations. Jay says reaching out is a meaningful first step and that therapy is a collaborative process, shaped around the goals a person brings.
People considering work with him are invited to think about what they want from therapy and to start by describing their main concerns. That gives Jay a clear place to begin and helps him tailor his way of working to each person.
How Jay's approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising alternatives through small experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting and can help with intimacy issues, relationship difficulties and attachment-related concerns.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Jay uses a collaborative way of working to identify what feels most useful for the person in front of him. He will listen to your goals and try different techniques, adapting the plan as progress and new issues emerge.
