About Jake
Jake McGee is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people work through difficult feelings. He has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, and he focuses on building a respectful, compassionate working relationship. Jake aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.
Jake offers direct, plainspoken support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, depression and addictions. He has worked with clients in LGBT-focused counselling and in a residential addiction treatment setting.
Background and approach
His background also includes supporting survivors of sexual abuse. His main style is client-centred therapy - that means sessions focus on the individual and what matters to them. He is also using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques while completing a Level 5 diploma in CBT, and blends practical tools into conversations when helpful.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used to boost motivation and set achievable goals. In sessions Jake aims to tailor the conversation to each person’s needs. He listens for what’s getting in the way and helps people try small, workable changes.
Expect an approachable tone and concrete steps rather than abstract theory. Jake works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger and career pressure. He also supports people facing bipolar symptoms, ADHD challenges, and issues like process addictions, smoking or vaping cessation, and sexual health concerns.
He offers flexible formats and can work with international clients in English.

Online support
He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. CBT methods can help with anxiety, depression and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing new ways of coping. Motivational interviewing is used to strengthen readiness for change and to support people who are struggling with addictions or ambivalence about behaviour change.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree on an approach to try together. Sessions can adapt over time as needs shift.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, on-the-go contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or other commitments and to keep consistent contact over time.
