I have recently started therapy with Jacob after trying it with other therapists before him, just as I was giving up hope I came across his profile and booked in. He is the first therapist I feel that I can be completely transparent with - there is never any hint of judgement, it is apparent he is there to learn about you, help you to learn about yourself and work meticulously to help you through anything holding you back.

MY APPROACH AND TRAINING:
My therapy is grounded in trauma-informed approaches, integrating both talking therapies and somatic body-based techniques to support holistic healing.
I specialise in helping individuals who have experienced trauma and neglect, guiding them through the complex emotional and physical effects of these experiences.
As a Trauma-Informed Therapist, I focus on understanding how your nervous system has adapted to survive tough or dangerous situations.
My therapeutic approach is specifically designed to support those suffering from the deep and lasting impacts of trauma.
My practice is informed by the leading treatments and research within the field of trauma, such as:
- Somatic Experiencing
- Polyvagal Theory
- Transforming Touch
- Integrative Talking Therapies (Schema Therapy and Internal Family Systems)
To cope with overwhelming internal experiences, many people develop coping behaviours. While these behaviours may seem helpful at first, they can eventually become harmful and out of control.
I am also trained in supporting individuals struggling with:
- Addictions – both behavioural and substance-related
- Eating Disorders and unhealthy eating behaviours
- Compulsive Disorders and behaviours
I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental relationship where you can explore these challenges and work towards recovery and a better quality of life.
ABOUT ME:
My personal experiences have given me a deep understanding of the complex and debilitating effects of trauma on every aspect of life.
Through my own search for healing, I have gained valuable knowledge about various therapeutic approaches—first as a client and later as a professional through extensive training.
In the past few years, I've chosen a nomadic lifestyle, travelling in a motorhome around Europe. This helps me to appreciate how nature, personal choice, and travel can shape my experience in life. This decision reflects my desire to live authentically in a society that often asks us to compromise who we really are.
As a therapist, my experiences allow me to create a deeply compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can face the deep wounds they’ve carried—sometimes for a lifetime—yet may feel hopeless after many unsuccessful attempts to find relief.
I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey and help you find a way forward.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I have recently started therapy with Jacob after trying it with other therapists before him, just as I was giving up hope I came across his profile and booked in. He is the first therapist I feel that I can be completely transparent with - there is never any hint of judgement, it is apparent he is there to learn about you, help you to learn about yourself and work meticulously to help you through anything holding you back.
Jacob is a great therapist!
Jacob is a great therapist - I have been with him for almost 2 years now and he has helped me with a variety of issues in a thoughtful, caring and considerate manner
Jacob is incredibly professional - he is prompt in communication, compassionate in sessions. He does a great job providing structure and narrative to what I am going through and to our work together. He also does an excellent job giving realistic advice/perspective and not promising more than therapy can deliver. Hands down the best therapist I have worked with.
I am still working with Jacob as I have very complex things to work through, he is kind, caring and supportive and I highly recommend him as a therapist
I am so grateful to Jacob for his expertise, compassion and understanding. He is exquisitely skilled, highly qualified and helping me so much in my personal journey.
Excellent health care provider. Provides structure and guidance rather than telling me what to think or just letting me talk endlessly. Challenges me while providing space for me to feel and express the things that need saying. Makes excellent use of our time slot every session.
I am still working with Jacob on my Ptsd and other things and I am always impressed by his knowledge and kindness, I really wouldn't have gotten this far without his help and look forward to continuing my work with him
Gave good advice and analysis and good guy. Thanks for all the help a real good listener.
Experience with Jacob is excellent, we have been working together for some time and he is a great therapist, I intend to continue my work with Jacob as I have a long way to go but it has been very beneficial to me so far
Working with Jacob challenges me to show up for myself and put the work in to overcome unhelpful patterns in how I think about myself, approach relationships and respond to difficult situations in my life. He always validates my experience, while offering a new way of looking at things. Therapy sessions with Jacob have been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Everyone should have someone as supportive, friendly and trustworthy as him to talk to.
Jacob has really helped me get in touch with my feelings, understanding myself better and learning to tolerate discomfort so that it does not overwhelm me. He has helped me with my eating disorder, anxiety and obsessive negative thought patterns. He always responds in a timely manner and sends great advice and resources to watch/read. Thank you Jacob!
Hes clever and he knows his job really well
Jacob is a very good therapist. Serious and organised, but also sensible and most of all, always actively searching to interpret and understand your words and situation so he can help you.
I have been working with Jacob for a number of months now and it is going really well, he is extremely relatable and down to earth which really helps with sensitive subjects and working on issues I have, I couldn't recommend Jacob enough!
Jacob is really open, warm, really listens and is patient! Has a knack for introducing you to new perspectives in a meaningful way. Also knows when to gently challenge when you might need it. Great to have met him on this journey.
Extremely attentive and a great therapist
