About Jason
Jason Shepherd helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also supports those facing trauma and abuse, struggles with self-esteem, and people navigating major life changes. Jason uses plain language and a steady, respectful approach to make talking about hard things easier.
He has BACP accreditation and brings 18 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. His background includes work around LGBT questions, bipolar mood issues, family and fatherhood problems, and complex themes such as adoption, abandonment and codependency.
How Jason works
Jason also addresses matters like body image, anger, dissociation and difficulties around BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture. In sessions he leans on a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot patterns of thinking that feed distress.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change habits but feel stuck. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas can help uncover how past stories still affect daily life. Jason aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.
He listens for what matters most and works with the person to set clear, realistic goals. Conversations are paced to each client, with focus on small steps that fit into everyday life. People can expect calm, direct discussion and techniques they can try between sessions.
He encourages honesty about hopes and setbacks so progress can be measured and adjusted. Jason offers help in English and works from the United Kingdom.

Online support options
How Jason's approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviours that keep someone stuck and testing small changes to see what helps. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with addictive behaviours. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation for change by exploring a person’s own reasons for wanting different outcomes; it suits people who feel uncertain about making changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jason will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. He then adapts methods so the sessions feel like a shared plan rather than a fixed prescription.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum while working towards change.
