Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially when things already feel difficult or overwhelming. I aim to offer a space where you feel heard, understood and respected.
My approach combines CBT and evidence-based practice with a deeply humanistic way of working. Therapy is tailored to your needs and can be short-, medium- or longer-term.

About Jacob
I am a fully qualified, BABCP-accredited psychotherapist with over 10 years’ experience working across NHS, charity and private sector settings.
My Training
My training includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, an MSc in Health Psychology, a PGDip in CBT for Anxiety and Depression, and I am currently undertaking a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.
Therapy offers a space to explore difficulties, understand patterns, and develop new ways of responding. CBT is particularly helpful for understanding the links between thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and behaviours.
CBT has a strong evidence base for difficulties such as depression, anxiety and trauma, while my wider approach also considers your lived experience, values and autonomy.
Before therapy begins, we will discuss confidentiality, consent, cancellations and what you can expect from sessions. Please note that my private practice is not a crisis service and I am unable to offer emergency support between sessions.
You’re welcome to get in touch if you’d like to arrange an initial consultation or ask any questions. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
